How to configure a virtual disk in RHV to appear as SSD (non-rotational)?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • A VM running in RHV sees its virtual disks as rotational: /sys/block/<device-name>/queue/rotational = 1
  • As the VM runs ODF, we want to present the disks as SSD.
  • ODF shows the following message: "You do not have any SSD/NVMe disks available. Data Foundation supports only SSD/NVMe disk type in internal mode".

Environment

  • Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) 4.4 SP1
