+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #618707 +++ Description of problem: Add smth like this to the docs: "But be warned; although this is a graphical user interface to your cluster, you still need to have a good and clear understanding of the concepts of such clusters. Learning by exploring the available features in the user interface may not result in a cluster that actually keeps your service running when disaster strikes." Note, this quote was taken from Linbit's GUI at: http://www.drbd.org/mc/management-console/ --- Additional comment from slevine on 2011-01-20 15:20:33 EST --- Perry: I'll add something along these lines for 6.1, since that's pretty straightforward, but I don't know what to do about Paul's suggestion that something along these lines be incorporated into the GUI itself -- it certainly would be more effective there (in general people only look at GUI documentation if they have problems I suspect), but I don't know where or when such a statement might appear. That seems a GUI design/interface question rather than a documentation question. It does seem a given to me, but how about this as the note in the Conga doc: "Conga is a graphical user interface that you can use to administer the Red Hat High Availability Add-On. Note, however, that in order to use this interface effectively you need to have a good and clear understanding of the underlying concepts. Learning about cluster configuration by exploring the available features in the user interface is not recommended, as it may result in a system that is not robust enough to keep all services running when components fail." --- Additional comment from pmyers on 2011-01-20 19:04:46 EST --- (In reply to comment #4) > Perry: > > I'll add something along these lines for 6.1, since that's pretty > straightforward, but I don't know what to do about Paul's suggestion that > something along these lines be incorporated into the GUI itself -- it certainly > would be more effective there (in general people only look at GUI documentation > if they have problems I suspect), but I don't know where or when such a > statement might appear.

I'd say Luci instead of Conga perhaps? Otherwise that warning looks fine to me.
Created attachment 519921 [details] Captured warning message. Trying freshly-installed luci-0.23.0-20.el6 (after uninstalling luci-0.23.0-13.el6), I was provided with a warning as captured in the attached image upon logging in. After logging out and repeating this as the same user, the warning has not appeared anymore, even when doing a restart of luci in between. When logging in as another user, the same applied (i.e., show warning for the first time being in and never repeat it again). I found out that this warning box is not prone to accidentaly pressing ESC key that would close the box and thus the message was missed. (This is contrary to dialog boxes, but it's IMHO okay with them.)
There is a regression in behavior brought along this bug, introduced by later fix of another bug, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522005#c19.
