OVF_STORE disks should be filtered out in the views in Admin Portal. Both from the Disks Tab, since those are not regular disks and their representation is confusing. And from the Attach Dialogue for VM's Add Disk feature, since those disks cannot be attached to VM anyway. Right now it just clutters the view. On the disks tab, those disk can be showed, but not together with other regular images. Or, at least, that should be marked somehow as different disks.
Not sure it's right to filter them out completely, they are still images existing in the storage domain and the admin should probably know about their existence and maybe also for backup issues. We can maybe filter it out on their own rubric such as the filtering in All disks/Images/LUNs, we can add OVF disks there Allon, what do you think?
seems like a "duplicate" of bug 1131508 (this one is RHEV, bug 1131508 is oVirt).

The admin should be able to see these, although I agree they probably don't fit the default view. Looking forward, we should have two types of filters: 1. The disk TYPE - image, direct lun or cinder 2. The disk FUNCTION - data (most of our disks), ovf_store, memory_volume (Arik Hadas is working on it). The default filtering should be all storage types for data only.

In 4.2, a new radio selection was added for Content Type. The default display is "all" (in order to keep backwards compatibility), but you can select specific types, such as data (see attached screenshot)

Hi, I need more information about the expected results (from comment #0): "... from the Attach Dialogue for VM's Add Disk feature, since those disks cannot be attached to VM anyway." --> This is not the actual results "On the disks tab, those disk can be showed, but not together with other regular images. " --> This is not the actual results
The actual results should be that the disks in the main disks tab can be filtered according to their content type, there should also be an option to show all the disks as well. As for the attach option, a separate bug can be opened for that as not only OVF disks should be filtered but any disk that is not a DATA disk
