RHEV wishlist / feature requests

Latest response

I've been playing with 3.0 for a little while now, and while it's a marked improvement over 2.2, there's some things that I'd like to see added, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

 

  • Balloon support.  This seems like a bit of an obvious way to cut down on KSM load and give a bit more flexibility.
  • Per-user resource quotas for storage, vcpus, memory (I've heard that this is coming in 3.1, but wanted to mention it anyway, as it's pretty important to us).
  • Integrated IPA user management in the admin console.  The "Add user" command should actually be able to add a user, not just enable an existing IPA user.
  • Admin console log viewer.  Messages telling the user to "See logfile" are not helpful - the logfile should be viewable within the admin console.
  • Better support for attaching an iSCSI LUN directly to a VM.
  • DHCP/DNS integration, so that guests can be assigned an IP.
  • SAN integration to leverage the (usually much superior) snapshotting, thin provisioning, etc features of a SAN rather than doing it in software.
  • Increase the amount of actions hooks can be applied to - in particular hooks for VM create/delete would be nice.

 

I'm sure there's other things too that would be nice to have, but this is a start.
