Hi All, Has anyone worked out a way of accessing a CDROM from a Windows guest while using the GPLPV drivers? I don''t really mind whether access is mapped to the physical device or an ISO image, as long as I can change the media without having to reboot the domU. My configuration: dom0 = CentOS 5.3, Xen 3.3.1 domU = Windows Server 2008 64-bit, GPLPV version 0.10.0.69 Tried the following disk specs in the domU config - with the same result: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/cciss/c0d0p3,xvda,w'', ''phy:/dev/hda,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/cciss/c0d0p3,xvda,w'', ''file:/iso/cdrom.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] What I can see under Windows is * a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager on device "Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller" * two devices "Xen Block Device Driver" under Storage Controllers * no sign of a CDROM drive in either Explorer or Disk Management # xenstore-ls /local/domain/19/device ... vbd = "" 51712 = "" backend-id = "0" virtual-device = "51712" device-type = "disk" state = "4" backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/19/51712" ring-ref = "16383" event-channel = "8" 5632 = "" backend-id = "0" virtual-device = "5632" device-type = "cdrom" state = "1" backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/19/5632" ... # xenstore-ls /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/19/5632 domain = "basil" frontend = "/local/domain/19/device/vbd/5632" uuid = "a59853e4-57ec-9d02-bd84-f468d41856ca" dev = "hdc" state = "2" params = "/dev/hda" mode = "r" online = "1" frontend-id = "19" type = "phy" physical-device = "3:0" hotplug-status = "connected" Thank you.
