This can be determined from the XML config. Either there will be a <boot dev='cdrom|disk|floppy'> device type listed under <os> in which case it'll use the first matching devices of that type, or there will be explicit <boot order="NNN"/> ordering listed under the specific device Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
Hi Daniel I think I was'nt posted my question correctly, here is my senario I have a virtual machine with 3 drives vda, vdb, sda I want to hide the *DELETE* button against the primary disk of virtual machine, that was my question how to determine which is the primary disk of the VM.

My response below still answers this. You have to either consider the order of the disks in the XML, or look at the boot order values - which ever is relevant for the guest config in question.
