Hi All!

When I create a VM, there is a parameter TARGET in the disk templates do select the device qhere the given disk should be available. However it does not work for me. I select targets (hda, hdb, hdc), but the disks are available elsewhere (/dev.sr0, sr1, sr2).  
Am I dowing anything wrong? VM template follows.

Regards,
