Description Michael Burman 2017-08-02 12:42:30 UTC

Description of problem:
[UI] [Hosts>Network Interfaces] - Add indication that setup network operation is currently running on the host and not finished yet.

We need to add an indication that setup networks operation is running on the host and that network/s state still may change and please wait. Or something like that.

In a lot of cases, for example when updating network that attached to host with default route for example, such setup network operation may take about 2 minutes.
It is easily can confuse and mislead the admin that the changes not applied as should, as the network the whole time reported as out-of-sync, but actually a setup network command still running in the background, but we don't aware of it.

This is something that should have been done long time ago.
We would like to have this indication on the 'Network Interfaces' under 'Hosts', letting the admin know that the setup networks operation is still running and that network's state may change in few minutes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.0-0.0.master.20170801164139.git9b399c8.el7.centos

How reproducible:
100

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new network and attach to the host and set bootproto
2. Via 'Clusters' > 'Logical Networks' flow choose default route for the new network

Actual results:
Such operation make take more then 2 minutes(in dhcp use cases), this whole time the networks reported as out-of-sync and we may think that something is wrong or failed.
But actually this whole time a setup networks command is still running in the background, but we are not aware of it.

Expected results:
We should add indication that the setup network operation is still running in the background and that the network's state may change in few minutes.
Admin should be aware of such cases.

It's not just a little UI feature, I'm afraid.

Comment 2 Michael Burman 2018-08-13 13:40:36 UTC

Eitan, this is only the REST fix, correct?

What about BZ 1358501 , is this is the UI fix? or it's something else. 
Do we have a UI bug to track this?

Comment 3 msheena 2018-08-16 07:31:32 UTC

Reverting the bug to MODIFIED, since UI part is WIP.

Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2018-08-16 07:31:38 UTC

Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 5 eraviv 2018-09-12 14:14:57 UTC

The indications are displayed in the following locations: 
* cluster hosts list view: textual indication in host status column 
* hosts list view: textual indication in host status column 
* host network interfaces view: graphical + textual indication on each interface 
* network hosts list view: graphical + textual indication in 'network device status' column

the indications are refreshed according to the refresh policy of each of the above locations.

all indications are for a 'network update' in progress at the host level. this means that some or all networks of a host are being 'updated'. it is not possible to know which ones or how many.

a 'network update' on a host may be one of:
- refresh capabilities of the host
- setup networks on the host
- sync networks of the host

if one of the above operations triggers an update for more than one host (e.g sync all networks is triggered at the cluster level) then the indication would show up on all influenced hosts.

Comment 6 Michael Burman 2018-10-07 06:50:35 UTC

UI part is not on 4.2.7.2-0.1.el7ev and this bug should be ON_QA, not all patches were merged.

Shouldn't be ON_QA

Comment 8 Michael Burman 2018-10-10 13:41:18 UTC

This RFE need additional work, moving back to assigned.

Comment 9 Dan Kenigsberg 2018-10-16 10:05:10 UTC

Indication for multi-host actions would not make it for 4.2.7. Postponing, as this is not a blocker.
