I started writing the changes in the email but got tired of it and just made a bunch of changes in the wiki (impossible to track in email, such things should be done using etherpad or something). A few questions though: plugged vs. enabled - I thought we converged on attached/detached and enabled/disabled and not plugged/unplugged? * Shared disks are attached with R/W permissions. - What about enabling R/O ? (esp. for stateless/pools) * Template disks should not be shared. - Why not? (read only) * When exporting a VM, only the disks which are not shared will be exported. - Why is the above not treated the same as a snapshot? the configuration will reference the shared disk as unplugged? (or will it and it's just not clear?) I didn't touch stateless/pools but should be fixed to reflect comments on this thread. Is Remove shared disk and Delete shared disk the same thing? if so, why the dual terminology? I don't quite follow the logic determining which section is under functionality and which under user experience. For example, why do you have a 'Delete shared disk' section in the Ux section but not a 'Move shared disk' section (there is no shared disk specific logic visible in the delete action UI). * Disk name should be generated automatically based on the vm name and disk number in the VM. Description will be empty. * New disk should enforce the user to enter a name for the disk. - Huh? the above 2 items seem like an oxymoron, but I may be missing something... * Attach/Detach of a shared disk can be performed only when the VM is in status 'down'. - Why? under the functionality section you clearly stated that attaching a disk will result in it being attached but disabled... ----- Original Message -----

Hi Maor,
- "when taking a VM snapshot, a snapshot of the shared disk will not be taken." I think it is worth mentioning that the shared disk will be part of the VM snapshot configuration. The disk will appear as unplugged.
- Move VM is deprecated in 3.1.
- It seems from the wiki that shared disk is not supported for template but is supported for VM pool. I am not sure how can we do that? iirc we create pool from template.
What is the complexity of supporting shared disk in Templates? off the top of my head it seems like it is more complicated to block shared disks in templates than to support it. What do you think?
