Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2016-03-11 15:20:58 UTC
Description of problem:
This came from a discussion where steved was trying to figure it out; and it's
really not very obvious.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.2-1.fc23

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click on a host, choose details, choose create a storage pool
2.
3.

Actual results:
At the moment we have:
  step 1: type in a name and select LVM volume group
  step 2: enter a 'target path' and a 'source path' - where the browse on both lead to choosing a directory, and source paths browse choosing a directory in /dev


Expected results:
  If I understand correctly, then what should be in step 2 is something which is
   'volume group' (for choosing which volume group you want this storage pool to correspond to).   Bonus points for letting you choose from a drop down if 'build pool' is NOT enabled.
   and the other one should be 'physical volumes' with explanatory text saying it's optional and it just lets you choose where to allocate.

(Or does the storage pool name have to correspond to the volume group?)
