How do I manage virtual CD drives?
Nov 20 2007, 1:36 PM EST Win2003 EE comes with two CDs and does reboots during the setup process. After the first reboot, the VM doesn't seem to find the CD again and I couldn't find any way to swap CDs. Ouch! Just found it when I resized the VNC window! It's hidden below the console. Perhaps Firefox doesn't do the window sizing quite like "the other browser". One thing I noticed, though: The ISO image is not persistent across reboots. VMM just choses the latest ISO uploaded (which happend to be a VISTA image) so setup complained it couldn't find it's data. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Nov 20 2007, 7:24 PM EST Hi , I believe you need to edit the config file for your VM, goto /etc/xen, find the config file , and add a line pointing to the ISO for the Cd you need , i.e disk = 'file:/OVS/iso_pool/Windows/XPSP2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ] Do you find this valuable? |

Nov 22 2007, 1:18 AM EST or use command "xm block-configure file:/OVS/iso_pool/Windows/XPSP2.iso hdc:cdrom r" when the vm is running. change cd of a running vm is also necessary for users, i think VMM may have this function in next release. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
