So I''ve got windows 2003 running on xen 3.0.3. This is the line in the hvm config file where I set up my cdrom disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w'',''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdb:cdrom,r'' ] Seems to work fine when I have a disk in the cdrom and start up the VM, but I can''t eject the cdrom, it goes right back in. And If I do manage to get a different cd in there, the VM does not recognize it and thinks the cdrom is empty. Dom0 does recognize the new cd I put in. I need to be able to change cd''s while the VM is running. (I''ve also tried using phy:/dev/hdc which is the device /dev/cdrom points to and I get the same results.) Also if I use an empty cd rom (disk = ['',hdb:cdrom,r'']) how do put a cd into the cdrom and mount it while the VM is running? If you can''t what is the purpose of the empty cdrom? Sorry if these are stupid questions, I''m new to xen. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I found the answer in an older post. Here''s the solution, hope it can help someone else: This is the config string in the .hvm config file: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w'',''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdb:cdrom,r'' ] Inside the VM press: ctrl-alt-2 Type: help <return> eject hdb <return> Now you should be able to eject the cd manually, and put in a different CD, now type: change hdb /dev/cdrom press ctrl-alt-1 to get back to the VM gui The new disk should be mounted. Does anyone know where there is more documentation? The documentation seems to be hard to find. I spent all day looking for this, and the man pages don''t seem to exist in my build. (ie. #man xm -> documentation not found) --jman _____ From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Jman Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 9:05 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] Xen 3.0.3 change cdrom with windows 2003 So I''ve got windows 2003 running on xen 3.0.3.

Is there a way to just install the man files? When I installed I just downloaded the tarball files and did a ./install.sh It did not install the man file automatically. I''m running Ubuntu server. Does anyone know how to install just the documentation?

Thanks for you help. I can''t find any of these files on my machine or in the Xen tarball download. I guess I will have to live without man pages for now.
