[User Portal] Run Once - Boot Options should not list Hard Disk when the VM is diskless - consistency with PXE/network boot
Last modified: 2013-06-11 04:44:36 EDT
Description of problem: In User Portal -> Run Once - Boot Options - when the VM has no network card 'Network (PXE)' is unavailable in 'Boot sequence', this is OK. While the VM is diskless 'Hard Disk' still can be selected/is available in 'Boot sequence' list. When selecting 'Hard Disk' for diskless VM an user sees logically/correctly error popup window but still there's inconsitency - networkless VM = no network/PXE available vs. diskless VM = booting from HD available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): si25 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new VM in User Portal without network and disk (default, just 'New Server') 2. Check Run Once -> Boot options Actual results: 'Hard Disk' is present in 'Boot sequence' for diskless VM. Expected results: 'Hard Disk' should be not available for diskless VM, same consitency for unavailable booting from network/PXE when a VM has no network interface. Additional info:
Not fully OK - I created a diskless VM, in 'Run Once' dialog there's correctly 'Network (PXE)' in 'Boot Sequence' but when starting it in paused mode and later clicked 'Run' icon, I got: diskless: Cannot run VM without at least one bootable disk. Alternatives: -Create a disk for this VM, and rerun the VM. -Change the boot sequence using the Edit VM command (Boot Option Sub-Tab). -Use the Run-Once command to select a different boot option and rerun the VM. When starting directly (not via paused mode), it works OK.
ok, sf10, now it works even in paused mode.
