<pre wrap="">Hi,
These days we are working on various features around VM disks, in the
different threads it was decided that we'll have the ability to attach a
disk to a VM but it will be added as inactive, then the user can
activate it for it to be accessible from within the guest.
Flow of adding a new disk would be:
- creating the disk
- attaching the disk to the VM
- activating it
Flow of adding a shared disk (or any other existing disk):
- attach the disk
- activate it
It seems to me a lot like adding a storage domain and I remember a lot
of rejections on the storage domain flow (mostly about it being too
cumbersome).
After discussing the issue with various people we could not find a good
reason for having a VM disk in attached but inactive mode.</pre>

And since you probably can't find a good reason to have two steps
for storage domain, lets fix this as well.<br>

Of course we can wrap the above steps in one step for specific flows
(add+attach within a VM context for example) but can anyone think on a
good reason to support attached but inactive disk?
I would suggest that when attaching a disk to a VM it becomes part of
the VM (active) like in 'real' machines.
Thank you, Livnat
