nova: Expose `use_serial` to UI

Open nicolasbock opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Right now the use_serial switch is hidden in the raw view but it's useful enough to expose it in the UI.

May need to open a bug for the docs to be updated methinks

I'm totally not convinced that it should be exposed because;

  • It requires novnc to be disabled
  • It is completely unprotected
  • Only one client can access the console at any time

Was therr any request for this being exposed?

@dirkmueller Yes, someone asked me yesterday on #cloud if we could enable it. I figured I would just throw this out on GitHub since it was so straightforward to do :smile:. It sounds like we rather shouldn't do it though.

@vuntz I have added the hints @dirkmueller provided. Is there a way to format the hints more like a list? I tried inserting html, but that didn't work.
