How to define order of disk assignments in RHEV ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When multiple disks are added to a VM in RHEV, the order in which the disks are added in not maintained by RHEVM. Instead RHEVM sorts the disk-order based on the Alias of the disks.
  • I create a VM, add multiple disks to the VM of any size. Then, I name the disk-alias of these disks something like:
   Disk1 = FirstDisk
   Disk2 = 2ndDisk
   Disk3 = 03rdDisk
  • After adding these disks, rhevm sorts these based on names without considering the order in which they were added as below:
   Disk3 (seen as 1st disk) = 03rdDisk
   Disk2 (seen as 2nd disk) = 2ndDisk
   Disk1 (seen as last disk)= FirstDisk
  • It should be like:
   Disk1 = FirstDisk
   Disk2 = 2ndDisk
   Disk3 = 03rdDisk
  • This is seen in the VirtualMachines > Disks TAB.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.1
