PowerVC

    Add Filter on "Networks" tab on new VM Deployment window

    When deploying new VM ; it would be great to have Search filter on Networks Tab. Currently we have +150 Networks defined on our PowerVC, so it is not very convenient to sort & scroll when trying to find the correct network :)

    Export shared storage pool images from PowerVC

    It would be nice to be able to back up the shared storage pool images using the new regular backup command or something similar. Using "dd" as the doc suggests works of course but it's definitely not user-friendly... and it could lead to huge prob...

    PowerVC - when configuring vm name results from namelookup should not be used for host name

    A customer would like to configure vm deploy AND have A records that are invalid, Rather than fixing the A records in their DNS, they want a new feature, where powervc will ignore dns resolution response, for the A record of the IP to be allocated...

    Choose of network in deploy either DNS Authority or defined network

    Currently it is only possible to define a DNS authority or networks. When deploying a VM with defined DNS authority e.g. Infoblox we cannot set an ip address also when we want to deploy a VM with a defined network. The deploy failed so we have to ...

    PowerVC services/binaries/config/logs - owner by non-root user

    Once PowerVC is running, if it does not change RHEL OSI settings, does the product need to run as root?It is difficult to obtain root access to production systems, so collecting logs, performing backups, etc is extremely difficult to do when the p...

    PowerVC - name vs mmts

    PowerVC uses MMTS name(9080M9S_123ABC) rather display name(mypower_frame1) in REST API, command line, logs etc. It is very inconvenient for readability and usability.

    PowerVC support for saving/restoring customer entered meta-data in case of re-install / restore operations

    A key differentiator for PowerVC, as compared to management with just HMC, is the option to augment objects with comments to further clarify the role of that specific object. An example is a VM where we add a comment that this VM is used in the co...
