Re: [Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] bug fix: Allow user updates the cdrom from local to remote file

dom.updateDeviceFlags() can not work well while updating cdrom configuration from local to remote file. Even passing a right xml to this API, it updates the vm xml like below: <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol='nbd' name='/13.04/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> Instead of: <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol='http' name='/13.04/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso'> <host name='ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu' port='80'/> </source> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> In this case it is safe to manually update the vm xml to properly change the cdrom configuration instead of using the libvirt API.
