GUI question about system VMs
Hi,
In the Infrastructure tab of the GUI, I notice both a System VMs and a
Virtual Routers options (buttons you can click to drill down on the details
of these categories).
If I look under System VMs, I see my SSVM and my CPVM, but not my Virtual
Router. If I look under Virtual Routers, I see that my Virtual Router is
listed as a system VM.
My question is just the following: Is it on purpose that we do not list
Virtual Routers under System VMs alongside the SSVM and CPVM?
Thanks!

It may also (conceptually) be because routers are dedicated to users
(a router per isolated network or VPC, for example), whereas CPVM and
SSVM provide management services for your cloud. systemvm routers used
to be placed under a section with the CPVM and SSVMs, I think it was
decided to break them out on the UI from an admin perspective.

Hi,
That is probably true, Wei.
Do you know, though, if that is something we should separate in the GUI
because it makes sense to do so from a user's point of view or are we doing
it for our own (developer) "convenience?"
Thanks!

Mike,
I think it is because the processing of virtual routers (start,
stop,reboot,destroy) are different from SSVM and CPVM.
You can have a look at the source code, such as StartRouterCmd.java and
StartSystemVMCmd.java
