Description Taras Lehinevych 2016-01-25 11:52:05 UTC

Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.0/managing-infrastructure-and-inventory/chapter-3-virtual-machines

Section Number and Name: 
Chapter3

Describe the issue: 
Provider more information what vm statuses mean, what the difference between a Retired, Archived, and Orphaned VM is.

Suggestions for improvement: 
Add the description as here (the ramrexx's answer)
http://talk.manageiq.org/t/what-is-the-difference-between-an-retired-archived-and-orphaned-vms-solved/172

And provide additional information about openstack cloud from this bz https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298986

Additional information: 
Probably this is not only one doc source where we should update this information

Comment 3 Shikha 2016-02-11 01:38:07 UTC

Hi Taras,
Thank you for all the help and inputs in resolving this bug. As discussed, I have done 3 things to address this issue.

1) Add more explanation to the vm statuses in the icon description table.
http://file.bne.redhat.com/snansi/Managing_Infrastructure_and_Inventory/#sect_virtual_machines

2) The exception of OpenStack providers in the Bug 1298986 has been dealt by:
a) Adding a doc-text in the bug itself.
b) Including the bug doc-text in CloudForms Management Engine 4.0 Release Notes under known issues: http://file.bne.redhat.com/snansi/Release_Notes/#known_issues

3) I have opened another bug 1306119, to add a section for each Archive, Orphaned, and Disconnected VM status in the Provisioning Virtual Machines and Hosts guide.

Please review the updated sections and let me know if you have any feedback.

Regards,
Shikha
