* OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface. * A VM server console is needed as an improvement, especially when GUI mode is active. * Oracle should provide the OVM client console per user based on his/her privileges to manage his dedicated resources and VM servers. * Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time. * Creating networks for PCA is done via CLI. It should moved to the OVM GUI with a clear diagram or graphics. * The PCA dashboard needs more enhancement to contain more info about the components and showing the external connective network links. * Internal ZFS storage at PCA is designed to be used for the OVM database, configurations data, and contain VM servers OS only. The customer has to attach an external storage from his own data (it is allowed to use non-Oracle storage), so this design is adding more complexity. I would prefer if Oracle provided another design or option with an internal scalable storage that can be used for both configurations data and customer data without the need to get external storage.
