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?
