I do this:

"
xm block-configure $domain phy:$device hdc:cdrom r
"
($device is /dev/cdrom or /images/cdimage.iso etc)

Under windows, you have to first either eject the CD under windows
(right click + eject on the drive in explorer), or do:

"
xm block-configure $domain phy:/dev/null hdc:cdrom r
"

First, which seems to do the same thing. My CD change script is:

"
xm block-configure $domain phy:/dev/null hdc:cdrom r
sleep 1
xm block-configure $domain phy:$device hdc:cdrom r
"

I imagine that would also work on a pv domain, but I've never tried it.
