Open Stack

Update: I found one (the right?) place to change the default to false:

/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/static/dashboard/project/workflow/launch-instance/launch-instance-model.service.js

//        create_volume_default: true,
         create_volume_default: false,


I've been struggling for years now with these dashboard settings, it  
started with

/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/project/instances/workflows/create_instance.py

where I needed to remove the default disk identifier (hard-coded  
"vda") when we were still running with xen hypervisors to let nova  
change the disk name. Then this changed and it had to be one of these  
files, I can't remember which was first, I just know that after some  
months I had to apply my changes to the other file, too:

/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/static/dashboard/project/workflow/launch-instance/launch-instance-model.service.js

/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/project/static/dashboard/project/workflow/launch-instance/source/source.controller.js


I'm not a developer but I must say, I don't really understand this  
setup and why it changes all the time. Of course I might be looking in  
the wrong places, it would be great if someone could point me to the  
right direction! I'm also willing to provide more information if  
necessary.

I might be wrong about that, too. I noticed that although I disabled  
the debug settings in  
/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.d/_100_local_settings.py

DEBUG = False

I was still seeing debug messages. I had to turn them off in  
/srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/settings.py to be  
applied. So there might be other changes not applied from our custom  
config file.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could comment on this.

Thanks,
Eugen
