Only a question about network interfaces hint

[diaolin]

Is it possible to add a hint to each node interface like

vmbr0 (dmz)
vmbr1 (net)
vmbr2 (local)

just to intercept correctly (when adding a new machine) the correct interface to join machine to???

I know that this is not in the code and i can write it myself... and send the patch, obviously

is this interesting or not?

Another consideration when adding storage members to a pool i see the names of each storage
but when i add Virtual Machines i can see only numbers...

is it possible to add the names even to Virtual Machines like in the Storage list?


Many thanks, Diaolin

VMs are identified by ID. But you can improved the GUI to display both things.

Perfect, tomorrow i'll write the patch and send to you.

My suggestion on /usr/share/pve-manager/ext4/pvemanagerlib.js

BridgeName: function(v) {
return (/^vmbr[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/).test(v);
},
BridgeNameText: gettext('Format') + ': vmbr<b>N</b>, where 0 <= <b>N</b> <= 9999',
BondName: function(v) {
return (/^bond[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/).test(v);
},
BondNameText: gettext('Format') + ': bond<b>N</b>, where 0 <= <b>N</b> <= 9999',

In this case I could mantain the actual naming convention or use my idea:


vmbr0 old method
vmbr0lan my method

vmbr1 -> vmbr1net
vmbr2 -> vmbr2dmz

and bond in the same mode

I use the addition of the hint to the bridge/bond device

that works directly out of the box...

If you want i send the whole file...

For the VM it's not true that are identified by ID but that i can identify the VMS with the ID but the list is a simple counter,,,
I'll improve the code

Ciao, Diaolin
