Description Yaniv Kaul 2012-07-02 14:30:56 UTC
Description of problem:
1. VMs tab:
- Between the 'Name' and 'Cluster' tab there is a tab with no title. I suspect the icons there differentiate between servers and desktop - of very little, IMHO.
- 'Data Center' is a new item there - but is it really that important to show for VMs? Should probably be pushed further to the right.
- Would be great to move 'Host' and 'IP' next to the name - so it'll resemble the hosts tab more.

2. Hosts tab:
- SPM priority - should be either High/Medium/Low or Custom (X) with a value - or better yet, combined with SPM Status.

3. Clusters:
- Would be useful to add the DC name

4. Disks
- 'ID' is not the most interesting information to be displayed right next to the alias.
- 'Allocation' is format? interface? both?

5. Templates:
- 'Domain' -> 'Storage Domain' ?

6. Pools:
- Do we want to be consistent and display DC and Cluster as well?

nothing much to do with it, really. ideas are welcome.
icon should probably be moved next to status icon, between status icon and name.

let's wait for customer feedback - I think it is quite important.

in progress as part of a separate bug: Bug 845320

requires backend change (need to add DC name to business entity) - a separate "infra" BZ should be opened on this.
Alternatively, can be added to general sub-tab although the entire sub-tab should probably be redesigned.

it is the most important thing to display right after alias, as defined from the storage-features meeting we had a while ago

'Allocation' is what is called 'Format' in the New Disk dialog and as 'Allocation' in the "Resource Allocation" section in the New VM dialog.
I agree that terminology should be unified to "format".

No - directory services domain. 
Column should be removed and information should be displayed in general sub-tab instead (just like VMs).

+1
Again - requires backend change; suggest to open a separate "virt" BZ on this, although can simply be added to the pools redesign RFE as well.

Comment 3 Shahar Havivi 2012-09-24 15:23:52 UTC
regarding #3 and #6, it require a change in the search adding a new view (now we are using the vds_groups table as the view for search) and change in the business entity.
its look like an RFE

Comment 4 Einav Cohen 2012-09-26 19:48:11 UTC
summary:

The following items should be solved in the context of this BZ:

a) [original item: 1] VMs main tab: Desktop/Server/Pool icon-column should move from its current location to be between the status-icon column and the Name column

b) [original item: 4 (second part)] 'Allocation' / 'Format' - terminology needs to be unified: In New VM dialog, 'Resource Allocation' section, 'Allocation' needs to be changed to 'Format'.

c) [original item: 5] Templates main tab: 'Domain' column should be removed; 'Storage Domain' label should be added to the General sub-tab (just like it is in the General sub-tab of the VMs main tab).

correction: 'Directory Domain' (instead of 'Storage Domain')

Allocation is *not* 'Format'.
Format is raw/qcow2/etc and should not be confused with this.

It's about space allocation policy.
I don't have a better name for it.  Andy?

Just "Allocation policy"

Comment 15 Einav Cohen 2012-11-13 14:57:25 UTC
updated summary:

The following items should be solved in the context of this BZ:

a) VMs main tab: Desktop/Server/Pool icon-column should move from its current location to be between the status-icon column and the "Name" column

b) 'Allocation' / 'Format' - terminology needs to be unified to "Allocation policy" (look in: New Disk dialog, New VM dialog -> Resource Allocation section)

c) Templates main tab: 'Domain' column should be removed; 'Directory Domain' label should be added to the General sub-tab (just like it is in the General sub-tab of the VMs main tab) - for Windows Templates only!
