Fixed In Version: aeolus-conductor-0.13.18-1.el6cf
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The restart button was displayed even when restarting the instance was not a supported action. For RHEV and vSphere instances, this meant the restart button was clickable, but no action occurred. This update removes the restart button if the action is not supported. RHEV instances no longer show the restart button, and vSphere instances display the button and restarts the instance if clicked.

Description james labocki 2012-09-24 13:25:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
On providers that do not support restarting instances yet (RHEV, vSphere) the Restart button is able to be clicked, but does not do anything. This is confusing to the user.

To reproduce:
1. Launch two instances. One to RHEV provider and one to EC2 provider.

2. Wait until instances are running.

3. Select RHEV instance and select "restart".
  a. Nothing happens in the conductor UI.
  b. Nothing happens in the RHEV-M interface.

4. Select Amazon instance select "restart".
  a. Instance restarts in EC2


Expected results:
On of the following should be done:

1. check the provider when displaying instance information and remove the ability to press restart (hide it or grey it out) on providers that do not support restarting instances (RHEV, vSphere).

2. Make the restart button restart the instances on those providers.

I am expecting that #1 is the easier solution in the short term.
