Re: [Xen-users] CDROM on PV domU

[Felix Kuperjans <felix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

you made a small error in your disk configuration:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/scd0,hdc:cdrom,w' ]

You have to specify hdc (or anything similar) to set the position of the cdrom drive (in this case: secondary IDE, master).
It is also possible to specify e.g. sda:cdrom, which will attach the device to the first SCSI port (but you can't boot from SCSI devices).

In addition, I think it was rather /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sd0.

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

how do I attach a cdrom to a pv guest?
Xen-server is openSuSE-11.2 and domU is opensuse-11.2.

According to the xen-manual I tried
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sd0,cdrom,w' ]
in the vm configuration.
When creating the vm however it crashes w/o a message in /var/log/qemu-dm-opensuse11.log

I've also tried to attach with
xm block-attach opensuse11 phy:/dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom r
same problem as obove.


Any hints?
Wolf
