There's got to be a simple way to attach an ISO to a KVM guest. I just haven't yet
discovered it.
I've tried adding the following stanza to my guest XML file, under the <devices>
stanza and starting the guest:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' />
<source file='/etc/libvirt/qemu/isos/kvm1.iso' />
<target dev='hda' bus='ide' />
<readonly />
</disk>
But I get the following:
error: Failed to start domain rhel6guest
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected
to /dev/pts/3
qemu: could not open disk image /etc/libvirt/qemu/isos/kvm1.iso: Permission denied
A perms issue should be easy to address one would think, but I've tried every possible
combination of perms changes including 777. Changed ownership from root to qemu:qemu
(though I'm running as root). I'm not running SELinux.
Anyone have any insights on how to mount a simple ISO into a KVM guest? Both at build
time AND while the guest is running?
Thanks
