Description

For VM templates, the disks using the image repository are assigned a default target attribute.
The current schema for disks is:

sda -> OS image
sdb -> Contextualization CDROM
sdc -> CDROM image
sdd, sde, etc. -> DATABLOCK images

The user is required to write the context target as sdb in the VM template. This could be done automatically, avoiding possible conflicts and also providing a cleaner template, making the target attribute optional for advanced users.

A related issue is that the current schema doesn't take into account the swap disks. To avoid conflicts mounting them, the schema must be changed to:

sda -> OS image
sdb -> Contextualization CDROM
sdc -> CDROM image
scd -> SWAP disk
sde, sdf, etc. -> DATABLOCK images

This way the swap type disks can be assigned the target sdc as a default.
