The disk is locked for administrative reasons. Nobody else
can use the disk. This mode is used (for example) when taking
a snapshot of a disk to prevent mounting the disk while it is
being snapshotted.
ReadOnly
Attaches this disk in read-only mode. Multiple virtual machines can use
a disk in read-only mode at a time.
ReadWrite
Attaches this disk in read-write mode. Only one
virtual machine at a time can be attached to a disk in read-write mode.
