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
what info do we have in DB? what can be added?
Manufacture we don't have, and the last 3 I don't know what they are, this is what we do have (cut from vds view in the DB): vds_group_id vds_group_name vds_group_description selection_algorithm vds_id vds_name ip vds_unique_id host_name port vds_strength server_SSL_enabled vds_type subnet_mask pm_type pm_user pm_password pm_port pm_options pm_enabled status cpu_cores cpu_model cpu_speed_mh if_total_speed kvm_enabled physical_mem_mb pending_vcpus_count mem_commited vm_active vm_count vm_migrating vms_cores_count cpu_over_commit_time_stamp hypervisor_type net_config_dirty high_utilization low_utilization max_vds_memory_over_commit cpu_over_commit_duration_minutes is_initialized storage_pool_id storage_pool_name reserved_mem guest_overhead software_version version_name build_name previous_status cpu_idle cpu_load cpu_sys cpu_user usage_mem_percent usage_cpu_percent usage_network_percent mem_available mem_shared cpu_flags vds_group_cpu_name cpu_sockets vds_spm_id spm_status
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 Serial Number: GB88038NYC UUID: 34373030-3634-4742-3838-3033384E5943 Wake-up Type: Power Switch SKU Number: 470064-623 Family: ProLiant
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.
