libvirt users - Oct 2014 - Specify hard disk type (immutable) in the domain.xml file

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }Hi!
I'm using libvirt withVirtual Box. I have installed libvirt 0.10.2 and
Virtual Box 4.1.
I want to use "virsh define"to define my Virtual Box virtual machine.
My question is:
In my domain.xml, how can Ispecify that my hard disk is of type immutable/ multi
attach etc. Can I use som kind oftag or attribute, something like this:
 <disk type='file'device='disk'>
<sourcefile='/path/to/my/file.vdi'/> <target
dev='hda'bus='ide'/> <type>immutable</type>
</disk>
In the domain.xml is it possible to specifythe path to my folder where I have my
snapshot.vdi file?
Thanks!
LL

Doesn't this do it (at least, it works for qemu):

<disk ...>
  <source ...>
  <readonly/>
</disk>

since a readonly disk is immutable to the guest.
