Test kimchi on SUSE11 SP2, just one VM on the host:
Start the VM using virsh and start the kimchi:
PYTHONPATH=./src/burnet python bin/bunetd

If the VM is running, on UI the VM list is empty.
Using REST request, the GET request for /vms and /storagepools will wait for a long while and return 0.

If shut-off the VM before kimchi start, the UI will show it and vms and storagepools request will return expected result.

Environment
IBM RH6 Open Client

Recreate steps

PYTHONPATH=./src python bin/burnetd --test

Expected Result:

• server starts in testmode

Actual result

• server will not start
• mockmodel init fails

On RHEL6.3, can not show the display of guest VM by noVNC.
The noVNC viewer(firefox) stopped on "starting VNC handshake".

The burnet log:

Kimchi users will want to the capability to open an SSL encrypted port in addition to or instead of the unencrypted port we have today.

I do the the following step as README says:

Install Dependencies

$ sudo yum install python-cherrypy python-cheetah \
                   python-imaging python-polib

Build and Install

$ sudo python setup.py install

Run

$ sudo burnetd --host=0.0.0.0

When I connect my browser to localhost:8000, it does not display the screen as README shows.
It displays a warning:
"
Oops! It looks like I am running from a source tree and you forgot to build! Please run the following command and reload this page:
python setup.py build
"
Then
$ sudo python setup.py build

it still show this warning.

That's too bad, the warning misleads me.

When a user clicks a button on a VM tile, the button does not provide any feedback that it has been clicked. In order to reassure the user that the click happened and the UI is working to satisfy the request, we should animate the button to show it has been pressed and released.

1 add template page
2 "select the ISO you'd like to use to create a template" textfield ,put the iso path and then click in the outside of the textfield.
3 the "Create" button shows.

I think this is not a good User-Centered design.

Currently the UI source code has poorly indented code with mixed tabs and spaces. The kimchi project policy is to have each indent level use 4 spaces. Tabs are not allowed at all. We need to go through all files and fix the whitespace issues. Unfortunately this is a disruptive activity since it will cause merge conflicts for other patches so we can defer it until the time is right.

When I swith between the 2 tabs 'Guests' and 'Templates' on design UI.
The whole page will float from left to right,vice verse.

Tested on Chrome and Firefox.

I think there is a problem about padding control in CSS.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install kimchi on RHEL6.3
2. Start kimchi serer
3. Go to "Template" tab and click on "+" icon to add new template

Expected result:
A popup window will be shown to enter the template values

Actual result:
Any window is open

In the console I can see the following traceback:

• vm arranged next to each other

actual:

noVNC is supported in Kimchi by launching an external program (websockify.py) to wrap an existing qemu vnc connection with web sockets (needed by noVNC). This works but has a number of disadvantages:

• Requires a range of ports to be opened through the firewall (to support multiple connections)
• Need to manage and clean up the spawned websockify processes.
• Complex

Anthony proposed an idea to support websocket proxying directly from the cherrypy server on its given port. The noVNC code would be directed to a URL such as: ws://:8000/vms/vm-1/vnc. Cherrypy would switch to a websockets handler to service connections at this URL.

When the unit tests were launched by ./run_test.sh, the following error happened randomly. while in most times, the test case result was good.

We currently have an internationalized web application but no way for users to change the language :) In the Development UI we just use a select box populated with the available languages. We should consider adding such a box to the Main UI as well.

Need to restrict user's input by validating forms before submitting it.

1. Check restrictions of KVM
   VM name (length, allowed characters)
   Template name, CPU, Memory, ISO path(length, allowed characters)
2. Create scripts to validate form fields.

I think the template name is important when create a template and so as the description , but our design can not input the name of template.

1 when the template name chars more than 14, the chars will crossed nomal boundaries.

When we read the src/burnet/mockmodel.py code.
We find a bug in the commit:

$ git show 19be36fc40daa09641a948f077d64979067494bf
"Open vnc port in MockModel"

it can reproduce 100% by the follow step on Fedora:

• start a qemu-system_x86-64 running with a vnc port manually.
  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc : 0
• start burnet with test mode.
  $ sudo PYTHONPATH=src ./bin/burnetd --host "0.0.0.0" --port 8000 --test
• open the url http://localhost:8000 by client browser.
• start a VM.
• display this VM
  novnc will report this error.
  Failed to connect to server (code: 1006)

usage percentage of storage is constant.

Adam suggests to look at the capacity and allocated fields of the primary storage volume.

When 'make redhat' or 'make suse' rpm package, error report:

Building for target noarch
error: Failed build dependencies:

but no python-polib package for RHEL6.3 and SLES11can be found, but I have installed the polib package by python setup tool.

The dependencies should be moved into setup.py instead of the spec file ?

The code still contains many references to the incubator project name 'burnet'. This work includes:

• Rename modules
• Rename data directories and files
• Remove references to burnet from code and user messages
• Rename software packages from burnet to kimchi

The designed UI display that VM is shutdown.
I double click the button to start VM, it reports an error "Failed to create VM"
but not report the reason of failed. I check the burnet.log, it tells me "domain is already running"

I check the /var/log/burnet/burnet.log

Scenario:

• Load Kimchi UI with a number of guests

Expected result:

• List of guests appears in sorted order

Actual result:

• List is in some arbitrary order

Variation:

• Create a new guest "testGuest"
• Note its position in the list
• Delete "testGuest"
• Create another new guest "testGuest"
• Note it is inserted into the list in a different position

Because it may take some time for a web browser to download the screenshot images sometimes a VM tile is rendered with a partial screenshot. Additionally, when the image is refreshed, it does not appear smooth. To fix this we must load the screenshot images in the background and display them via a callback after they have been fully downloaded. Fixing this properly will require us to change the way VM tiles are refreshed. Instead of deleting all tiles and rebuilding them on each refresh, we will need to update the existing tiles (deleting any that should no longer appear and adding any new VMs since the last refresh).

First time to make the burnet package. Setup.py just generates i18n files,
burnet.min.js and theme-default.min.css. But Setup.py does not not copy
them to the build directory.

when create a VM failed, Design UI just report "Failed to create VM".
No other more information.
So we need to check the burnet log. It tell us the detail
it is better that messageField show the detail failure.
So the design UI users can easily find the reason of failure.

Adam suggested as follow:
We need to do a better job with error reporting.

When a REST operation fails, we will return a 4xx-5xx status code. The
body of the response is an error message and stack trace. You could
write a wrapper function in the REST API that wraps all API calls and
checks for errors. When one is found, display the first line of the
response body in the error bar of the browser.

How to reproduce:

1. click "+" to create a VM
2. choose a Template
3. input Virtual Machine Name
4. press Enter key

Scenario

• Create a guest named "Virtual_Client_for_Linux_Windows_7-KVM"
• Create a second guest named "ubuntu"

Expected result:

• Name column shows good alighnment

Actual result

• Columns not aligned

Memory may be more tricky.
Usually we need a guest agent for this but Burnet does not require one.
Adam suggested to see if libvirt provides a useful API.

Scenario:

• Load UI
• Select "+" to create a new guest
• Enter a guest name
• Do not select a template
• Select "Create" button

Expected result:

• Required fields identified
• Create button disabled

Actual result:

• Required fields not noted.
• Create button enabled.
• Message asking the user to "Please choose a template!" displayed at browser top for ~2s

Due to libvirt limitations, attempting to delete a VM that is running will fail. To resolve this we should take one of two actions:

1. Update the backend so that the vm_delete operation calls libvirt's destroy and undefine operations together.

2. Grey out the delete button in the UI when the VM is powered on AND add a useful error to the REST API if delete is attempted on a running VM.

Burnet assumes that the host has an active 'default' Storage Pool and an active 'default' network. Without these, virtual machines cannot be created. We need to check for these resources and if they are absent, handle the problem automatically.

It looks uncomforting.

Direct all requests for Kimchi resources to an authentication screen
Authenticate the user id with PAM confirming the user is authorized to log into the server
Establish a server session with a user object (future authorization enhancement)

This should allow Kimchi to authenticate to any user repository than the Linux distribution supports such as LDAP

To get kimchi to run on Fedora 19 I had to change the imports for the Image and ImageDraw classes to specify the PIL package like so:

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageDraw

Such a modification was required in these two files:

• /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/burnet/screenshot.py
• /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/burnet/mockmodel.py

Python's distutils build and installation system is very limited. While great for pure python modules, it breaks down when doing complex tasks such as building and distributing data files and handling differences between Linux distributions. Autotools has some nice macros for building and distributing python programs and can also handle gettext i18n, distro package building and other tasks.

For an example of another python program that uses autotools, see: https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm

start kimchi with test mode, when listing vms from design-ui,
it raises error and fail to list vms, error mesg list bellow
