Description Stephen Gordon 2019-11-06 22:36:47 UTC
Description of problem:

The create VM wizard includes a drop down for operating system selection. This appears to include a wide mix of operating systems which is problematic currently:

- It mixes supported and unsupported operating systems from a product perspective.
- It includes Fedora but only goes up to 28, if it's going to be there it needs to be up to date.
- It includes Windows Server but only goes up to 2012 R2, so 2016 and 2019 are missing.
- It includes RHEL, but is missing RHEL 8.1. Probably the most forgivable omission as it only just came out almost in parallel to CNV 2.1.
- Alpha order means the supported operating systems all appear well down the list without scrolling.

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

2.1

Expected results:

Ideally this drop down would only include operating systems that are actually supported, or would at least make some distinction as to what is/isn't supported, and also list expected versions if it is going to enumerate them.

Comment 1 Israel Pinto 2019-11-07 09:27:58 UTC
RHEL  8.1 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766070
RHEL 7.7 + Fedora 29/30 : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766069
to add them to common templates.

Comment 5 Martin Sivák 2019-11-20 09:20:47 UTC
Common templates (upstream) got couple of improvements over the last two weeks that will help with most of the points:

- Templates will automatically include all RHEL and CentOS releases that are known at common-templates release time
- Templates will automatically include all Fedora releases that were considered active at some time during the last half a year. Old Fedora releases will be removed from the list to keep it shorter.

See https://github.com/kubevirt/common-templates/pull/110

That change already in and requires just the osinfo-db submodule update before releasing common templates.


There are two issues that cannot be handled on the side of common-templates:

- UI ordering and list length - this can be only handled on the UI side
- Support status - there is an easy way to expose support status (just another label/annotation), but the UI would have to learn how to expose it to the user

Comment 8 Israel Pinto 2020-01-16 14:31:11 UTC
Verify with CNV-2.2:
OS exist on VM create wizard:
Fedora: 29-31
RHEL 6.0-6.10
RHEL 7.0-7.7
RHEL 8.0-8.1
Windows 10
Windows 2008 / 2008R2
Windows 2012R2
Windows 2016
Windows 2019


 @Karel we can move to ON_QA - all work done.
