Doc Text:
Previously, it was possible to specify the 'Read Only' option for disks that used the IDE interface and were attached to virtual machines. This prevented virtual machines with this setting enabled from starting due to an exception in libvirt. Now, it is no longer possible to specify this option for disks using the IDE interface.

Description of problem:

we cannot start a vm with IDE disk+read-only. 

This looks like it might fail in libvirt.

Actual results:

we fail to start the vm

Expected results:

we should either fail in Engine with CanDoAction or support this.

Setting target release to current version for consideration and review. please
do not push non-RFE bugs to an undefined target release to make sure bugs are
reviewed for relevancy, fix, closure, etc.

Comment 2 Sergey Gotliv 2014-01-28 10:55:01 UTC
Read only IDE disks are not supported by QEMU. The only exception for that is the cdrom. We can only validate that the IDE disk is not marked as a read-only.

Comment 6 Leonid Natapov 2014-02-19 15:10:50 UTC
tested on 3.4.0-0.11.beta3.el6. IDE disk can not be read only. It blocked by UI and backend.
