In order to enable upgrades on iSCSI or zFCP disks, we would also need an additional wizard screen quite early before the scanning for upgradable installations and before the scanning of storage devices. On s390, this early screen should always appear (since you cannot pass boot options when installing from FCP-attached SCSI-CD/DVD), on all other platforms its display might be made dependent on a boot option. > 5. iscsi, zfcp and all the additional configuration elements would > change the setup for refresh.

I like the context menu idea but I would already be satisfied, if the selection of an object on the tree (or bar) view was honoured on selecting create such that I wouldn't have to select the actual objects as "allowable drives" to create something on again in the popup create dialog. This might require multi-select on the tree, though. At least that is my experience with RHEL 5; not sure if this has already changed upstream.
