Pls note, you cannot reply off-list..
I have a Debian Etch system, I want to install more software and it's
asking for the DVD.
I created the system a few days ago, I think this is the commaind I used:
virt-install --name=DebianEtch --ram=384 --vcpus=1
--file=/var/lib/xen/images/DebianEtch.img --file-size=3 --vnc --hvm
--cdrom=/var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso --os-type=unix
I've tried various incantations:
[root@potoroo mail]# virsh attach-disk DebianEtch
/var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hde --driver file
--type cdrom --mode readonly
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Device 8448
not connected')
[root@potoroo mail]# virsh attach-disk DebianEtch
/var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hdc --driver file
--type cdrom --mode readonly
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Refusing to
reconfigure device vbd:5632 to {'uname':
'file:/var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso', 'mode': 'r',
'dev': '/dev/hdc:cdrom'}")
[root@potoroo mail]# virsh attach-disk DebianEtch
/var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hdb --driver file
--type cdrom --mode readonly
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Device 832
not connected')
[root@potoroo mail]#
None of those messages gives me any idea of what's wrong.
I tried the xm command too:
This is based on the manual page. The man page is wrong:
xm block-attach DebianEtch
file://var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hdd ro
DebianEtch thinks its CD drive is /dev/hdc, so I really want the CD
attached to that.
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-attach DebianEtch
file://var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hdc r
Error: Device /dev/hdc (5632, vbd) is already connected.
Usage: xm block-attach <Domain> <BackDev> <FrontDev> <Mode> [BackDomain]
Create a new virtual block device.
[root@potoroo mail]#
This seems to work:
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-attach DebianEtch
file://var/lib/xen/images/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso /dev/hdb r
[root@potoroo mail]#
but DebianEtch doesn't know about it.
How _should_ this work?
I note block-detach doesn't seem to do anything:
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-detach DebianEtch 832
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-detach DebianEtch 5696
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-detach DebianEtch 5632
[root@potoroo mail]# xm list DebianEtch --long | less
[root@potoroo mail]# xm block-list DebianEtch

Is there a particular reason the install DVD image doesn't, by default,
remain attached?
