Hello, I am doing a lot of attempt to attach a cd-rom to a domU but they are unsuccessful. I don''t understand how to do, and I also searched both on Google and dhe XEN documentation. Google returns me a lot of results, dealing with code pieces and I didn''t find anything in the xen docs. So please, could somebody explain me how the "xl cd-insert" works? I see the syntax is the following: xl [-v] cd-insert <Domain> <VirtualDevice> <type:path> but: 1) I didn''t understand what I should put in place of <VirtualDevice> 2) I''m not sure of what to type in place of <type:path> The reasonable attempts I have done are: xl cd-insert 4 cdrom phy:/dev/cdrom xl cd-insert 4 /dev/hdc phy:/dev/cdrom xl cd-insert 4 hdc phy:/dev/cdrom In all cases I get: libxl: error: libxl.c:1824:libxl_cdrom_insert Virtual device not found What it does expect as a Virtual device parameter? Finally if i do: xl cd-insert 4 hdc:cdrom phy:/dev/cdrom I get: Unknown virtual disk type: cdrom:cdrom format error Could somebody help me please? -- Flavio _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
