Mike Tutkowski updated CLOUDSTACK-6045:
---------------------------------------
Description:
At the time being, if an admin wants to add primary storage to CloudStack that
is NOT based on the default storage plug-in, the admin must invoke the
addStoragePool API outside of the CloudStack GUI.
It would be beneficial to CloudStack admins if they could add this kind of
primary storage to CloudStack via its standard GUI.
This project will require a degree of usability work in that the designer must
analyze CloudStack's GUI sufficiently to come up with a plan for where the
necessary information can be input.
Once a GUI prototype has been developed (one could use a tool like PowerPoint
for this purpose), then the developer must analyze the necessary HTML and
JavaScript logic to add the proposed support.
This project could take the form of an optional GUI plug-in.
It is possible this project may add one or more parameters to the
addStoragePool API. If so, then this will require Java changes on the backend.
It is likely the developer will have to create a new CloudStack API: One to
retrieve the list of installed storage plug-ins.
