Hi,
Ginger being a host management plugin for the
Wok framework is responsible for general host system
management. What happens when you have some architecture
specific things to handle when managing the system?
For example, in System z there is a disk type
called DASD. This type of device needs to be partitioned and
formatted slightly differently and with different tools (not
with fdisk). From high level it looks like the DASD
partitioning could go in a ginger plugin specifically
written for system Z, ginger-z if you will. Similarly, when
dealing with networking and storage we need to interact with
something called Channel Sub System (CSS), again a good
reason for the creation of ginger-z.
What do you guys say?
