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

[Shu Ming]

In total, this idea sounds good to me. I have a few comments below.

Kimchi don't get a way to allocate volumes from a storage pools.  So 
where are these volumes coming from?  Further, the existing volumes 
should be checked if there is any data on them and the user can chose a 
empty volume for his VM.
