Thanks.
I decided the first issue is really a bug. There should really be a
different VM indication for:
- Powered down, vs
- System not ready to start up VMs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062745
I realize this is one of those gray areas of "This behavior is by
design" while the severity of this makes it more like a flaw than a
missing feature I think. You can watch the VM tab forever during oVirt
host startup and never know when the VMs are actually ready to start up.
I opened an RFE for auto-starting VMs once oVirt becomes ready, and
auto-opening consoles for VMs at startup:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062740
In theory this could be separated into two RFEs.
Thanks,
Bob

What's the best way to request a new feature?
Do we manage a Wiki page for this somewhere? Or should I just open a
bug/rfe?
The feature I'd like to see:
It would be nice if the Admin page had an indication either on the VMs
page or in the left navigation frame when everything is in place for
starting VMs.
Here's an example scenario to illustrate why this would be useful:
Every morning I power up my Engine and Host machines. The first thing I
have to do is Activate my Host, and then monitor it while it comes up,
Contends and eventually assumes SPM responsibility. Then I can change to
the tab with my VMs and start up the one(s) I need, and open their
consoles.
But I have to watch the Host tab until SPM is established, because when
looking at the VMs page there's no indication whether they can be
started up yet or not. Nothing unless I try to start one, and get a
pop-up error.
Additional useful features:
Is there any way to cause a VM to automatically power on as soon as
oVirt is ready to do so?
Is there any way to cause a console to automatically open up as soon as
a VM is started?

best way is opening a BZ RFE, then promoting it via this mailing list
for extra attention (well, to the lifespan of emails. worth re-trying
on next version feature polling as well...)
