Hi Tom,
The way to resolve this is to run virsh dumpxml $id > file.xml
edit file.xml at the relevant section to add in the ISO/cdrom path and then
run
virsh create file.xml
Thanks Chris,
Once I found the format of that file, it worked like a champ.
Is this a bug in virt-manager, I would think virt-manager should add this info
when you create a new vm but I am new at all of this virtual stuff so I could be
wrong.

Hi,
I am trying to use virt-manager to setup a w2k3 domU. I have successfully
gotten a centos-5 domU running using cobbler and koan, but windows is not
cooperating. The windows installer boots and everything is fine up until
the point that the installer reboots the machine.
When the machine reboots into the graphical installer I get an error that
it can no longer find the media in the cdrom. Of course at that point I
have to abort the install because the only options are retry or cancel.
I do not know if it is important or not but when windows says it is going
to reboot, it actually shutsdown and I have to manually restart it.
The config file for the w2k3 domU looks like the following:
name = "w2k3"
uuid = "24375a2a-30d3-5b4e-1076-bc607f73c35e"
maxmem = 500
memory = 500
vcpus = 1
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "c"
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
disk = [ "phy:/dev/GEP0/w2k3,hda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:04:fd:03,bridge=xenbr0,type=ioemu" ]
serial = "pty"
(geppetto pts10) # rpm -qa | grep virt
libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5
libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5
virt-manager-0.4.0-3.el5
libvirt-python-0.2.3-9.el5
python-virtinst-0.103.0-3.el5.centos
(geppetto pts10) #
The above file is as created by virt-manager.
I have been looking through google for the last few hours but no joy.
Is virt-manager devel at a point where this is expected to work? If so, can
someone give me an idea what I am missing?
Regards,
