AJ, Aaron,

Per our conversation:

Let's insert a small dialog box that directs people back to the website:

"Please refer to www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/y-hpc/userguide/ or
contact your Terra Soft account manager for support."

Need to look into this --should be simple to transfer one function to more
than one node.

(delayed for Y-HPC v2.1)

Just need to be re-linked post window split.

Just rename the button to "Import Image".

(works)

==> SIMPLE

a) "Default DHCP Settings" ==> "DHCP Settings"

b) "Template DHCP Settings" ==> "Template Settings"

==> SIMPLE

"Cancel" does not actually reset the settings as the settings appear to take
effect upon entry (not when OK is pressed). Either make it work and call
it "Reset" or remove it (for now).

I like Aaron's suggestion, above.

Probably needs to be re-linked.

(same as #8 above)

==> MEDIUM

Probably needs to be re-linked ... but might require more.

Probably need to be re-linked (see #4 above).

Need to investigate ...

==> MEDIUM

Need to investigate why this occurs.


16) Add a SELECT ALL feature to select all nodes in DETAILS tab.

==> SIMPLE

... once the SELECT MULTIPLE (#2) works.


17) Add the functionality of DELETING a node from the GUI.

==> MEDIUM

Tell the daemon to remove this from the xml.


18) Tool tips
Kai will prepare the text for this after the User Guide is complete. If it
does not get done for the show, not a show-stopper.

--------------------------------

Time frames:

SIMPLE = done by 6 pm today

MEDIUM = investigate today ... close of Friday

HARD = (n/a)

Sincerely,
kai
