Read Only Disk for Engine gives Engine the read-only disk capability already found in VDSM. --http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4_Release_Notes http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Read_Only_Disk
Read Only check box appears in Add New Virtual Disk window (only when accessed through the Virtual Machines tab, as floating disks cannot be read-only). As far as I can see, there is nothing referring to 'read only' in the REST API. Updated Explanation of Settings in the New Virtual Disk Window section of Admin Guide (9415) to include Read Only check box and function. Updated Add New Virtual Disk screen shot in Adding and Editing Virtual Machine Disks of Admin Guide (9412) to include Read Only check box. Added new topic, Read Only Disks in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, to Admin Guide (30454).
