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. 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
