Bug 1124077

[7476] Updated New VM Window screenshot (Admin and User)
[10394] Added Instance Type row to the General Settings table (Admin and User)

Cloning for the User guide (work complete). More work still required for the Admin guide.

Hi Michal,

I've written about Instance Types in the New/Edit VM settings explanantion tables here:
http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5-Beta/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Virtual_Machine_General_settings_explained


And in more detail in a new section here: 
http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5-Beta/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-Instance_Types

Can you please let me know if I've accurately described the feature? It seems like a big deal and I'd hate to miss something. More specifically, I'd like to be sure I've accurately explained what it's used for (the "how" should, in theory, be fine based on my testing). 

Thanks for your help,
Tahlia

Hi Tahlia,

I'd like to comment on the "Editing Instance Types" part. The thing is that as you have described it, it is as it behaves currently, because there was some unimplemented (missing) functionality. Now we have a patch (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/31300/) which adds this functionality and the correct behavior (once the patch gets merged) will be like this:

When you have a VM attached to an instance type and you edit that instance type, also the VMs attached to it will be automatically updated.

Hi Tomas,
     Sorry for the late reply. Tahlia is currently on leave. I have updated the content according to your feedback. Please let me know if you have any further feedback.

Cheers,

 Selecting an instance type when creating or editing a virtual machine will automatically fill in these details. 

there should be a comma after the word machine (ie machine, will) AND 
the word these is ambiguous.
consider:

Selecting an instance type (as shown in table 2.6), will automatically fill in the details as indicated (in the table) when creating or editing virtual machines.

Adding a comma there creates a comma splice and interrupts the flow of the sentence. It would be grammatically incorrect. 
I agree, however, that "these" is ambiguous. 
Changed the sentence to say "Selecting an instance type when creating or editing a virtual machine will automatically fill in the hardware configuration fields".

Awaiting rebuild.
