Hi all,
As part of adding Gluster support in ovirt, we need to introduce some
Storage Device management capabilities (on the host). Since these are
quite generic and not specific to Gluster as such, we think it might be
useful to add it as a core vdsm and oVirt feature. At a high level, this
involves following:
- A "Storage Devices" sub-tab on "Host" entity, displaying information
about all the storage devices*
- Listing of different types of storage devices of a host
- Regular Disks and Partitions*
- LVM*
- Software RAID*
- Various actions related to device configuration
- Partition disks*
- Format and mount disks / partitions*
- Create, resize and delete LVM Volume Groups (VGs)
- Create, resize, delete, format and mount LVM Logical Volumes (LVs)
- Create, resize, delete, partition, format and mount Software RAID
devices
- Edit properties of the devices
- UI can be modeled similar to the system-config-lvm tool
The items marked with (*) in above list are urgently required for the
Gluster feature, and will be developed first.
Comments / inputs welcome.
Thanks,
Shireesh
