Hello,
I can attach disc ISO image to cd-rom from virsh. And I can replace the ISO image from disc1 to disc2 using the 2nd example.
(example) attach-disk guest01 /root/disc1.iso hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly attach-disk guest01 /root/disc2.iso hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly
My question is, how can I disconnect the image from the cdrom drive using virsh. Because, if I try to detach-disk hdc, I got following errors.
virsh # detach-disk guest01 hdc error: Failed to detach disk error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: This type of device cannot be hot unplugged
What I can do is possible from virt-manager's "Disconnect" button, (next to source path: line) from Hardware's TAB, Disk hdc screen. I want to do this from virsh.
OS: RHEL5.6 libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.1 is used.
