Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2 1/4] VMX: Add cdrom-raw dev type from VMWare Fusion

According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows: ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image" >From the documentation it appears the following is true: - cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM - atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host CD-ROM - cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from within the guest. A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is modeled as: <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <source dev='/dev/scd0'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> This patch allows an optional element as: <driver name='atapi'/> that would maintain existing behavior. While: <driver name='raw'/> would provide a 'cdrom-raw' to the VM.
