<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">During the development
of PPC64 support in the engine, we faced some UX issues
regarding the default Cluster (that Cluster with empty
processor name).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Currently, oVirt engine
allows the default Cluster to contain empty processor name,
and the administrator can add VMs and/or Templates to it.
The processor name can be assigned later, editing the
cluster or assigning a valid host to it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">During the
implementation of PPC64 support on the engine, the field
“architecture“ was added to Clusters, VMs and Templates
entities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So we have the following
questions regarding how the UI should behave:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Shall we keep allowing
the administrator to assign VMs and Templates to the Cluster
with no processor name or assigned architecture ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> -> If we
have an “yes” for the question above:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> -- We will
have to assign the architecture to the Cluster based on the
OS of the first assigned VM, and the processor name could
be defined the same way as currently … editing the Cluster
or assigning a compatible Host to it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">
-- The VM creation popup will have to be able to indicate
the architecture of each OS … some OSes have the same name,
and it may get ambiguous since the Cluster architecture is
still undefined at that point (before the first VM get
already created).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

To add VMs you anyway need a running host in the cluster which means
the cpu name and the architecture would be the host's. <br>
So we can keep the cluster attributes - "cpu name" and "arch"
consistent and allow them to be empty on creation. <br>
