Hello, I am one of the open source solution developers for OCS at Platform's Toronto office. In my testing and training on Kusu, I've noticed an issue that I think should be addressed before Kusu is officially launched later this year. It is regarding addhost tool. Addhost has a graphical interface in the form of a text user interface (TUI), which is a very good idea, since most cluster users are not keen on using command line for node provisioning. My comment is that the "Installing Node Status" screen of the TUI could be made more clear. Please refer to the attached picture showing the Installing Node Status screen. On the top of this screen status of the node is displayed; when a node has began installing, word "installing" is shown in a (bracket) on the right edge of the screen. The only other thing that is displayed on the screen is a big red button labeled "Quit". Quit what? Just quit the TUI and return to command line, OR quit installing the nodes. It's not clear what is going to happen after the user presses the Quit button. In my opinion, addhost TUI could be made even more easier to use if there was a brief textual information on what pressing quit will do; this text can easily be placed directly above the Quit button.
