Description Greg Scott 2018-07-18 23:09:35 UTC

In earlier RHEV and RHV versions, I could right-click a VM and select "power off." But in 4.2, I must select the VM, go to the General tab, click the dropdown next to the "Shutdown" button and click "Power off."

The navigation is more complicated than earlier versions, presumably because we want to encourage orderly shutdowns and discourage virtual power cycling. But changing the navigation this way only complicates admins' jobs in stressful situations with hung VMs and used to the original navigation.  Besides, if the popup shows both choices, shutdown VM and power off VM, it should be easy to tell which is which.

Please add "Power off" to the right-click popup menu in the Compute...Virtual Machines screen.

Sure. I believe the change wasn’t really intentional

Comment 2 Greg Scott 2018-07-19 13:57:28 UTC

Thanks Michal.  Should I take [RFE] out of the title?

> Sure. I believe the change wasn’t really intentional

This change was actually intentional, fwiw. We wanted to simplify the menus such that if it's in the context menu, it's also up top. No thinking about where something should go.

I'm fine changing that, though.
