A console that listed the VMs and their state...
...Out of scope (maybe) but something to think about is a way to join multiple FreeNAS system so they can be managed / monitored from a single web GUI. If I recall, there was some work on that in Corral but I think that may have died with Corral.
Thanks for the feedback! In the future, I'd like to ask anybody giving multiple suggestions to please format it as a numbered list. This will make things more efficient.
- A console that listed the VMs and their state (up, down) and gave options for editing their condition or creating them to begin with.
- It would be very nice if the whole process could be done through the GUI and with the ability to snapshot the VM and spawn a new VM from the snapshot.
- Mount and UN-mount an ISO.
- Spawn a viewer into another window so the hardware configuration can be seen in one window while the UI of the VM can be seen in another.
- Multiple UI windows should be possible so that each of the many potential VMs can be seen at the same time.
- All the virtual hardware should be configurable through the web GUI such as the number of CPU cores, amount of RAM, virtual drives (or multiple drives) number and type of virtual network interfaces, how the virtual network interfaces connect to the world, virtual switch (or multiple virtual switches)
- Ability to export the virtual machine so it can be moved to another server and an ability to import the virtual machine that was brought from another server.
These are good. Keep them coming!
