----------------------------------
Summary: allocate computer already having specified IP address for
server reservations with specified IP
Key: VCL-1126
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1126
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend), web gui (frontend)
Reporter: Josh Thompson
Fix For: 2.6
Server reservations allow users to specify an IP address to be used. Currently,
the web frontend only checks to see if an existing reservation or management
node has the specified IP address assigned. If not, it will allow the
reservation to move forward. The backend currently checks for any computer
having the IP address assigned in the database, and fails the reservation if
one is found. If not found, it tries to ping the IP and fails the reservation
if the ping is responded to.
This improvement will have the frontend check to see if there is a computer
already assigned the IP in the database that the selected image maps to, and if
so, attempts to assign that computer for the new reservation. The backend will
then need to check if the assigned computer currently has the specified IP
address, and if so, skip the ping check.
