Description Pavel Novotny 2014-07-31 15:45:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
In New/Edit VM dialog, if some vNICs are added/removed first and then 'Optimized For' drop-down is changed from Desktop to Server (and vice versa), then the vNIC info is reset back to the previous state.
Desktop/server VM type has nothing to do with vNIC settings, therefore the UI should not touch this area.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-3.5.0-0.0.master.20140722232058.git8e1babc.el6.noarch (beta2)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open New VM dialog.
   Current state: No vNICs are assigned by defualt. 'Optimized For' has value 'Server' by default.
2. Assign 2 vNICs to the ovirt network.
3. Change 'Optimized For' to 'Desktop'.

Actual results:
The change of value triggers a dialog refresh and after it all vNIC are gone.

Expected results:
There are still 2 vNICs assigned, as before the change of 'Optimized For' field.

Looks like an issue with general flow in the dialog, I think due to changes related to instance type feature but difficult for me to track.

I agree this is a bit more general issue, I found out that also other values in the dialog (like Memory Size, CPUs, etc.) are reset when changing not only the 'Optimized For', but also 'Operating System'.

I went through the VM dialog and following VM parameter values are reset:

/General/
vNICs

/Cosnole/
Protocol
USB Support
Monitors
Single PCI
Smartcard Enabled
Soundcard enabled
VirtIO Console Device Enabled

/Host/
Migration Options select
Use custom migration

/HA/
Highly Available
Priority for Run/Migration queue radios
Watchdog Model
Watchdog Action

/Resource Allocation/
Physical Memory Guaranteed
Memory Balloon Device Enabled
VirtIO-SCSI Enabled

/Boot Options/
First Device
Second Device
