Description Nicolas Ecarnot 2016-12-05 12:48:59 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to change the properties of a cluster's scheduling properties, in vm_evenly_distributed (other cases may lead to similar issue), choosing inappropriate values lead to a red border around the bad value, but with NO indication of what is wrong.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.5.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit the cluster scheduling properties
2. Choose vm_evenly_distributed policy
3. Enter 4, 2, 1 for the three settings
4. Try to validate by pressing OK

Actual results:
A red border highlights the MigrationThreshold value, with no indication of the issue, and one cannot save these values.

Expected results:
One should be informed of what is wrong. One has to locate and read a quite complex documentation about scheduling to understand the issue.
There should be a way to warn the user.

Additional info:
In 3.6.x, this issue was the same (lack of information). But I note that these exact same values were accepted.

There's a tool tip which provides you the needed information.
It's consistent with other field validation in the GUI.
