Re: [Users] Physical CDROM access

Hi,
With VMware ESX, when you edit the CD device you have of course the
option of attaching an ISO, but IIRC you also have the option of
selecting the physical CDROM device for the Host.
There seems no way to do this with oVirt. It would be a really nice
addition to the "Change CD" menu to have something like "/dev/cdrom".
Is
there a technical issue preventing this? Of course that would prevent VM
migration such as HA while the CDROM device is attached, but that didn't
stop VMware and it would be a valuable addition.
Thanks,
Bob

1. at some point i hope spice will allow this to connect remote
cd-rom's and install from them.
2. please open an RFE (bugzilla) to track this.
3. you can use a custom hook for this - an adaption on hostusb, or
maybe even vmdisk would work. if you need help with the custom hook,
just ping back on the list.
Thanks,
