[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] UI: Support Selecting SCSI Volume when Creating a VM

[Hongliang Wang]

Hi all,

Royce talked this topic with me today that the UI part is missing for 
SCSI volume selecting when creating a VM. In the current design, VM is 
created through a template and no extra options are available at VM 
creation: template defines which pool and disk size, and Kimchi will 
create a volume in the pool with specified disk size for the VM. Though 
SCSI volumes are read-only and we can't create anything in SCSI pool, we 
need allow user to select a volume in SCSI pool. So my initial 
suggestion to the VM creation UI looks like:

/// --- Create VM Window   --- ///

1. Virtual Machine Name
The name used to identify the virtual machine. If omitted, a name will 
be chosen based on the template used.
[ Text box here to enter VM name ]

2. Template
Please choose a template.
[ Templates list here to be selected ]

3. Volumes (this part will be only available when SCSI pool is selected 
in Step 2)
[ Volumes list in SCSI pool to be selected ]

///  Create  ///


Does this make sense? If so, I'll send out patches for it.
