Fixed In Version: rhv-4.4.1-3
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Previously, if there were hundreds of Fiber Channel LUNs, the Administration Portal dialog box for adding or managing storage domains took too long to render and might become unresponsive. This enhancement improves performance: It displays a portion of the LUNs in a table and provides right and left arrows that users can click to see the next or previous set of LUNs. As a result, the window renders normally and remains responsive regardless of how many LUNs are present.

Description Steffen Froemer 2018-10-19 07:00:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to manage or create a StorageDomain, where LUNs attached with 400+ paths, you will get an javascript error

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-4.2.6.4-0.1.el7ev.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect enough FC-devices to hosts until you have 400+ paths 
2. Open New StorageDomain dialog / or modify an existing one
3. Select StorageType 'FibreChannel'

Actual results:
The dialog stuck and will show Javascript Error ("not responding script") after a while

Expected results:
A domain should be 

Additional info:
The dialog was similar slow in RHV-4.1 UI, but on patternfly it might be worse

Comment 3 Tal Nisan 2018-10-22 08:33:37 UTC
Greg, from the storage perspective the code works as it should and creates the dialog, I guess the massive amount of elements "chokes" the browser, what can we do to fix it?

Comment 4 Greg Sheremeta 2018-10-24 00:45:02 UTC
profile it. you can see if there's some method the app is spending a ton of time in. Or you can see if there's a memory leak in that component.

I can assist if someone has an environment with FC luns (or if there's a way to stub them in via database edits)

Comment 5 Tal Nisan 2018-10-28 15:06:44 UTC
Guy, can you provide Greg with a host with 400+ paths connected?

Comment 6 Greg Sheremeta 2018-10-30 17:37:38 UTC
Shani got me what I needed -- thanks!

Comment 7 Tal Nisan 2018-11-05 09:17:47 UTC
OK, so moving to UX now to note that you are currently handling it

Comment 11 Daniel Gur 2018-12-30 09:35:54 UTC
No corrent need from QE (Guy)

Comment 12 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-01-28 09:41:20 UTC
This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

Greg, any updates?

Comment 22 rszwajko 2020-04-03 11:31:57 UTC
The problem can be reproduced by replacing the response with static data (SanStorageModelBase.updateInternal()):

-                model.applyData((ArrayList<LUNs>) response.getReturnValue(), false, prevSelected,
+                List<LUNs> stubs = stub(500);
+                model.applyData(stubs, false, prevSelected,

Perfomance tests results (on my laptop):
1. Chromium ~50 sec (see attachment performance_500_mocked_LUNs_chromium.webm)
2. Firefox ~22sec (see performance_500_mocked_LUNs_firefox.webm)

Comment 26 rszwajko 2020-04-09 14:51:21 UTC
Profiling shows that rendering stage is the most time consuming. 
The LUNs table at Domains -> New Domain -> Fiber Channel is technically speaking a tree in which each node (row) is a GWT table component.
Scenario described in this issue does not require all of the functionality (i.e. capability of displaying another GWT table as child node).
However since the component is quite complex it would be time consuming to build a special purpose component only for this scenario.
Due to this fact paging approach has been chosen.

Solution is based on the paging code that was used so far in all tables (bottom right corner above the table).
It has been extracted to allow re-use in the described scenario - see comment #25 for screen shot with the new look&feel.
Note that for Fiber Channel screen the total number of items is displayed - differently then on other screens.
This is caused by the fact that the underlying API does not support server side paging so all items are loaded in one request.
Since the data is stored in the browser we know the size of the result set and are able to show this to the user.
It's a small step towards design recommended by PatternFly 3 & 4 (see below).

Since it is MODIFIED already then re-targeting to 4.4.1

Verified  on :
      rhv-release-4.4.1-3-001.noarch

created 300 luns with 4 paths total  1200  FC 


from the UI : 

Storage > Doamin > New > provide the current  DC / Cluster / FC / Host 

all the Luns available on  the UI  300 luns on 6 pages each page 50 luns
