Hi everyone,

I'm setting up a 6 Node PVE Cluster for my company. In the future this cluster will provide VMs for different departments. These will be administrated by the designated department admins.
I have some custom attributes in my vcenter which are needed in the Proxmox Cluster. Is there any way to get something like that besides the Notes or Permissions Options?

My goal is to be able to set an Owner so that i know who to contact when something goes wrong. The Owner Field needs to also be available via the API for automatic documentation purposes.

Thanks everyone,
Greets, Chris

you can add tags or put data into the "description" field, both can be managed and queried over the API and UI.
 
yes, it's called 'notes' on the UI, but description in the API, and stored as comment in the config file
 
That could technically work but it wouldnt be ideal due to the noted feature being able to be change by the department admins and it will probably be used in other ways by them which would break that function.

The Tags could also be a solution but there i have the problem that there are around 100 department admins which all need two tags, one for email, one for name. I think that could get incredibly cluttered.

But if theres no other Option ill just have to live with that.
 
I don't think there are other options at the moment, feel free to file an enhancement request over in our bugzilla though, maybe we can extend the tags system to fit your use case as well..
