Doc Text:
Previously, "Power Off" was missing from the virtual machine context menu in the Administration Portal; although it was present in previous versions, it was removed as part of the new user interface in 4.2. Now, "Power Off" is once again present when a running virtual machine is right-clicked.

oVirt gerrit 94266 0 master MERGED webadmin: allow subactions in the right-click context menu 2018-09-19 17:51:25 UTC

Description Greg Scott 2018-07-18 23:09:35 UTC 
In earlier RHEV and RHV versions, I could right-click a VM and select "power off." But in 4.2, I must select the VM, go to the General tab, click the dropdown next to the "Shutdown" button and click "Power off."

The navigation is more complicated than earlier versions, presumably because we want to encourage orderly shutdowns and discourage virtual power cycling. But changing the navigation this way only complicates admins' jobs in stressful situations with hung VMs and used to the original navigation.  Besides, if the popup shows both choices, shutdown VM and power off VM, it should be easy to tell which is which.

Please add "Power off" to the right-click popup menu in the Compute...Virtual Machines screen.

Sure. I believe the change wasn’t really intentional
Comment 2 Greg Scott 2018-07-19 13:57:28 UTC 
Thanks Michal.  Should I take [RFE] out of the title?

> Sure. I believe the change wasn’t really intentional

This change was actually intentional, fwiw. We wanted to simplify the menus such that if it's in the context menu, it's also up top. No thinking about where something should go.

I'm fine changing that, though.
