Hi Vitaly, Most frequent use cases from disk config perspective are:
A) Ceph storage (dedicated nodes) - your approach works fine, nodes are recommended to be uniform B) LVM storage (dedicated or co-located w/ Compute nodes) - storage configuration is per-node, your approach doesn't work C) Enterprise SAN/NAS - disk config is mostly irrelevant Leaving per-node configuration in CLI only is not good - it will limit trial/pilot/playing around users. I would suggest exposing group configuration on main screen with all nodes list as default option, allowing individual node's config to be reachable via individual node's HW screen. --- Regards, *Dmitriy Novakovskiy* Sales Engineer, Mirantis EMEA *Skype:* dmitriy.novakovskiy *Operating from:* Ukraine On Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 6:58 PM, Vitaly Kramskikh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > As you may know, there are some activities aimed to improve environment > creation UX and create a single wizard that will guide a user from the very > environment creation to the start of deployment.
