Description Andrew Cathrow 2009-06-14 15:50:36 UTC
The general sub-tab on the Host displays minimal information about the machine.
In environments with multiple hosts configured by DHCP it is difficult to uniquely identify machines.
This is especially a problem when you want to approve a host to enter the cluster since you are given little information other than the IP address and (dhcp) hostname.

Basic hardware details should be displayed on this tab to identify the machine.
The suggested fields are :

- Manufacturer
- Product Name
- Serial Number
- UUID

I guess we want the output of 'dmidecode -t 1' (example from an IBM we have
here):
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: IBM
        Product Name: IBM System x3550 -[797861Y]-
        Version: Not Specified
        Serial Number: KDAPLLT
        UUID: AE0A6238-9CE0-3416-8C84-16A224E70650
        Wake-up Type: Power Switch
        SKU Number: Not Specified
        Family: Not Specified

and from an HP:
Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: HP
        Product Name: ProLiant DL360 G5
        Version: Not Specified

placing on engine to collect this data.
would probably require a vdsm change to provide this and after backend has it, a change to the UI/API to expose it.

Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.
