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?
