there are plans to use messaging/broker to access hosts. this should abstract the physical location of the host. using direct connection to host in addition to broker is something that should be avoided. once solution may be to obtain connection information from the control channel, but one of the "problems" that will nice to be solved is to stop initiating connections from manager. > > > this should be core feature, it cannot be implemented as plugin within the > > current monolithic implementation. > > +1 > > -- > Federico > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
