Feature request: ask for Wake-On-LAN MAC address when not yet configured

[codingspiderfox]

I setup a new 3 node proxmox cluster.

Turned off two of the other nodes over night. Just saw that there is a wake on lan option in the nodes list to the left. Clicked it for one of the turned off nodes.
Error message was shown that the wake on LAN MAC address is not configured for that node.

I that case I would like to have an optional input field where I can enter the wake up on LAN MAC for that node I just tried to wake up and the proxmox cluster service to try to apply that setting automatically the next time that node comes online. There should be a pending task as long as this is not done which I also want to be able to cance

Hey,

you can set the WAL mac for a node with pvenode config set -wakeonlan <MAC> as described in [1]. Also, if you think your request might be something many people find useful you can submit it at [2].

Yes I know that it can be done this way but it would be more user friendly not having to look up that command.
Also I think a good way is having a default interface name entered by the user which should always become the WoL interface.

This helps in large scale setups where a lot of similar servers are used that are all connected the same way
