             Summary: [GSoC] Create GUI to add primary storage based on plug-ins
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-6045
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6045
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: UI
    Affects Versions: 4.4.0
         Environment: All browsers that CloudStack supports
            Reporter: Mike Tutkowski
             Fix For: 4.4.0


At the time being, if an admin wants to add primary storage to CloudStack that is NOT based on the default storage plug-in, the admin must invoke the addStoragePool API outside of the CloudStack GUI.

It would be beneficial to CloudStack admins if they could add this kind of primary storage to CloudStack via its standard GUI.

This project will require a degree of usability work in that the designer must analyze CloudStack's GUI sufficiently to come up with a plan for where the necessary information can be input.

Once a GUI prototype has been developed (one could use a tool like PowerPoint for this purpose), then the developer must analyze the necessary HTML and JavaScript logic to add the proposed support.

This project could take the form of an optional GUI plug-in.
