By using the commandline tool and its options, this is written in the Manual. De-register the disk, run the CLI command and re-register/attach disk. I'd wish they'd made a simple toggle in the GUI for this...

There is already an internal ticket for this. The hard disk UI will be overhauled within the next time and such properties will be settable from the GUI. No ETA for the new GUI though.
