Description Luigi Toscano 2011-12-09 16:19:55 UTC

Description of problem:
The dialog that allows to submit VM jobs does not mention that the default (hard-coded) virtualization technology is KVM. In order to submit Xen jobs, few parameters needs to be inserted/overridden by hand.

I suggest :
- to introduce a new combobox to allow user to choose between supported virtualization technology (right now Xen and KVM)
- or at least document in the dialog that the default virtualization technology is KVM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cumin-0.1.5098-2

Comment 9 Peter Belanyi 2013-04-04 11:31:51 UTC

Reproduced on cumin-0.1.5192-4

Tested on RHEL 5/6 i386/x86_64
cumin-0.1.5675-1

Everything is as expected, the VM job submission form includes the note.
