Open Stack

Just want to use ML to trigger more discussion here. There are now
bugs/patches tracing this, but seems more discussions are needed before we
come to a conclusion.

IMHO, making the Bay/Baymodel name as a MUST will bring more flexibility to
end user as Magnum also support operating Bay/Baymodel via names and the
name might be more meaningful to end users.

Perhaps we can borrow some iead from nova, the concept in magnum can be
mapped to nova as following:

1) instance => bay
2) flavor => baymodel

So I think that a solution might be as following:
1) Make name as a MUST for both bay/baymodel
2) Update magnum client to use following style for bay-create and
baymodel-create: DO NOT add "--name" option

root at devstack007:/tmp# nova boot
usage: nova boot [--flavor <flavor>] [--image <image>]
                 [--image-with <key=value>] [--boot-volume <volume_id>]
                 [--snapshot <snapshot_id>] [--min-count <number>]
                 [--max-count <number>] [--meta <key=value>]

                 [--config-drive <value>] [--poll]
                 <name>
error: too few arguments
Try 'nova help boot' for more information.
root at devstack007:/tmp# nova flavor-create
usage: nova flavor-create [--ephemeral <ephemeral>] [--swap <swap>]
                          [--rxtx-factor <factor>] [--is-public <is-public>]

Please show your comments if any.
