Doc Text:
Previously, there was no option in CloudForms to permanently remove a virtual machine disk from a Red Hat Virtualization provider. The *Delete Backing* option has been added to the *Reconfigure Virtual Machine* screen to specify whether a to delete a disk from the Red Hat Virtualization data store completely, or to detach it from the virtual machine but keep the disk on the data store.

Description Ilanit Stein 2016-10-31 15:06:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
On CFME, for RHV, VM Reconfigure->Disk delete action, 
removes the disk from VM (disk detached),
and there is a missing option to remove the disk permanently.
Please add a "Delete Backing" option,
same as exist for VMWare (screen shot attached).

Comment 2 Ilanit Stein 2016-11-02 13:09:23 UTC 
Adding doc text, and this new CFME/RHV UI flag should be documented.
Also same flag exist for CFME/VMWare, and should be documented as well.

Comment 5 Ilanit Stein 2017-05-04 10:10:07 UTC 
Verified on CFME-5.8.0.13/RHV-4.1.1.8:

For a down VM with 2 disks:
Delete 1 disk with Delete Backing: Off => This disk was detached 
Delete 1 disk with Delete Backing: On => This disk was removed

For an up VM with 2 disks:
Delete 1 disk with Delete Backing: Off => This disk was detached 
Delete 1 disk with Delete Backing: On => Operation failed, as expected - when VM is down, it is not possible to remove the disk in a single REST API operation.
