Description Michael Burman 2018-01-03 12:11:00 UTC

Description of problem:
[OVS] - Disable/gray out the option to change the switch type on existing cluster

We decided to disable the option to change the cluster's type ovs<>legacy and it's now should be grayed out for existing clusters.
The only option to choose the cluster's type will be on new cluster flow.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.0.2-0.1.el7

Comment 1 Edward Haas 2018-02-20 13:00:29 UTC

There may be an agreement, but there is no consensus here.
IMO this is wrong.

We are breaking users who used it until now (for a year+ it was out there) and they will not be able to change their cluster back (from OVS to legacy).

I guess this came up from a reasoning that VM/s cannot be migrated to a new network type, which IMO should be a blocker to any feature that seeks users.
New capabilities will probably be added to OVN/OVS based clusters, leaving existing users behind, this makes little sense to me.

Hello Ales,

I'm going to verify this, but wondering should we add a tooltip on the grayed out 'Switch Type' layout explaining why it is disabled or something?
