             Summary: Rework Manage Computers / Virtual Hosts configuration
                 Key: VCL-955
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-955
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: web gui (frontend)
            Reporter: Andy Kurth


I think we should think about the organization of the _Virtual Hosts_ and 
_Manage Computers_ pages.  Perhaps they could be combined to simplify things 
and make it easier to perform common tasks.  I often switch back and forth from 
these 2 pages and each is slow to load.

In doing so, there are a few features I think would be useful for the current 
_Virtual Hosts_ page:

# It would be useful on _Virtual Hosts_ to display the state of each VM 
assigned to a VM host in a column rather than having to select a VM to see the 
state at the bottom.  In addition, I'd like to be able to select all of the VMs 
assigned to a host in the _available_ state in order to unassign them from a 
host.  Currently, you either have to go through the VMs one-by-one or select 
all of the VMs, unassign them, but click Cancel when the pop-up appears for the 
VMs currently in use.  This is a bit awkward.
# It would be handy to be able to see the VMs currently assigned to a VM host, 
whether the VMs are being used, which images the VMs are using, how much memory 
and CPUs each image is assigned, and a summation of the resources being used.
# If you attempt to assign VMs to a host which use different provisioning 
modules, a warning should appear.

Also, the _Edit Computer Profiles_ option should be renamed based on what it 
currently does.  I think _Manage Computers_ should go straight to this page and 
_Edit Grouping_ should be moved to _Manage Groups_.
