Hi,
After talking with a couple of people including Barak at the KVM Forum, I have been thinking about how we use oVirt & the Foreman and what could be improved.
We have dug some further in the foreman and changed some of our configuration and practices so thinks work better for us.
What we would like to have as improvement is to be able to assign the same Organization and Location foreman/katello uses to an oVirt Cluster/Datacenter.
This way we can seperate everything nicely and the cluster gets the correct provisioned hosts, Host Groups, subnet, domain, realm,etc for provisioning hosts and in the future VM's.
This is an interesting feature. I wonder whether something like that should fit the cluster/DC, or the provider itself. As one can create a foreman provider, specifying the relevant location as well. However, I'm not sure it is really required here, as you have a "search" support for provisioned hosts. So you can easily put a location query there (didn't test it, but see no reason for it not to work). Have you tried that? We can also add a selection for that in the add host dialog, although the dialog is already a bit cumbersome today.... Thanks for the input/feedback. Oved
This will also help to prevent the picklists becoming too large to easily use when using thousands of servers with dozens of customers.
Good idea?
Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards,
