| Hello List, I'm attempting to pass a DVD drive of a headless server into a virtual machine. So far I've managed to mount *something* into the VM, but it's being registered as a blank DVD within the VM. When I mount /dev/dvd into the bare-metal machine it registers normally as the DVD. How do I pass physical drives into a VM and back out using libvirt? Command used: #virsh attach-disk Montreal /dev/dvd hdc --mode readonly --driver phy --type cdrom Connecting to uri: qemu:///system Disk attached successfully VM XML file: <domain type='kvm'> <name>Montreal</name> <uuid>0f79ba7f-27bf-16a0-5887-6cfa2b5569f1</uuid> <memory>2097152</memory> <currentMemory>2097152</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='(Mangled Purposely)'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='(mangled purposly)/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> </domain> Thanks in advance, ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
