Re: [libvirt] eject ISO from cdrom

Hi there, I am using libvirt+qemu/kvm. For a guest VM that is running, I could change its cdrom media by running the following virsh command: virsh attach-disk <vm-id> <path-to-iso-file> hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly This will change the media in the cdrom for the guest VM. Once I am done, I can use virt-manager to disconnect the iso file to the cdrom. The resulting xml file looks like (only showing the relevant part) <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> However, I am having trouble to do the same task (eject cd media) using virsh command. I am successful in running the "virsh attach-device 1 emptyCD.xml" command where the emptyCD.xml is an xml without the source file path, just like the one above. However, I want to do it by a single command without the need to create xml files. It should be something like > virsh attach-disk 1 "" hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly However, virsh does not like the empty string "".
