Description Peter Tselios 2016-12-09 19:03:55 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently there is no way to manage DNS & DHCP reservations from virt-manager. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new VM. 
2. Power cycle the VM
3. Restart livbrtd

Actual results:
VMs get a new IP. If you want to reserve an IP/Hostname, you need to manually add it in the desired network.

Expected results:
I believe it would ideal to have an option (check box?) when we create/edit a VM to reserve a DHCP.

Thanks for the suggestion. The next version of virt-manager will have an option to manually edit the <network> XML in the UI, so there's at least a manual way to type in dns/dhcp mappings. I do think it's worth considering adding a simpler way to do this though, maybe from the VM details 'network' page.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2020-01-26 18:26:43 UTC

I think the XML editor has to be sufficient here. Given current virt-manager dev resources I don't expect there to be any explicit UI added for this.
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE
