mgmt network - correct view vs. incorrect view none

Description zvi 2012-01-18 10:40:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
We should have a check connectivity option when changing the HOST's MGMT NICs.
This should help when the new configuration settings are wrong - and will rollback to old WORKING parameters  

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


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to change HOSTs MGMT NIC's (STATIC to DHCP, BONDING with different NIC)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No check connectivity

Expected results:
Option to check connectivity before permanently applying new network settings.

The problem is not the lack of "check connectivity"; the problem is that the management network isn't recognized in the GUI as the management network, and it is treated wrongfully as a regular network

If it had been recognized as the management network, its name should have been marked in bold, with asterisk ("*") next to it, and when selected - the "Edit Management Network" button should be enabled - not the "Add / Edit" button.

I am not sure if the bug is a GUI bug or a backend (engine-core) bug: The backend should report regarding each NIC if it is the management NIC or not (VdsNetworkInterface.getIsManagement()). So either the backend doesn't report this property appropriately, or the GUI doesn't read it appropriately.

In any case, this should be taken care of as part of in the new setup-network GUI.

It looks like this was done on a network which is not the management network.

If anyone has a scenario in which this behavior can be reproduced, please re-open the BZ with exact steps to reproduce.
