Description of problem: One can enable nestedvt in Edit Host/Kernel but even after doing reinstall there's no info that such feature is working. Not sure how to do it, maybe a '!' if a setting is set but is not applied/working on the host? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-4.1.5.1-0.1.el7.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a host, activate it, put into maintenance 2. edit host, enable nestedvt 3. click Reinstall Actual results: host is up, nestedvt is enabled but in fact the feature is not "applied" (there was no reboot) and no info that the enabled feature is working is visible Expected results: '!' about need to do reboot to have nestedvt working or host should not become activated if the feature (nestedvt) cannot work Additional info:
It's a non supported hook so do not expect any fancy GUI support. Reboot should br suggested in the reinstall dialog, is it not?
(In reply to Michal Skrivanek from comment #1) > It's a non supported hook so do not expect any fancy GUI support. > Reboot should br suggested in the reinstall dialog, is it not? enabling nestedvt, clicking Ok causes no info about need for reboot. enabling nestedvt, clicking ok, putting host into maintenance, activating it causes no info/warning about nestedvt being enabled but not working on the host. imo the latter scenario is even worse.
I don't think we want to add also something more fancy than that...(In reply to Jiri Belka from comment #2) > (In reply to Michal Skrivanek from comment #1) > > It's a non supported hook so do not expect any fancy GUI support. > > Reboot should br suggested in the reinstall dialog, is it not? > > enabling nestedvt, clicking Ok causes no info about need for reboot. At the top of the dialog there is this big red message: "Kernel boot parameters changes require host deploy and restart. The host needs to be REINSTALLED suceesfully and then to be REBOOTED for kernel boot parameters to be applied!" Have it been shown for you? If yes, I don't think we want to get any more fancy than that. > > enabling nestedvt, clicking ok, putting host into maintenance, activating it > causes no info/warning about nestedvt being enabled but not working on the > host. > > imo the latter scenario is even worse.

It would many times be only a guess work... I believe the warning message should be enough for such a low level feature. So, Im closing this bug since the warning message is there.
