Hi,
I've imported a number of VMs that I previously was running under a
self-hosted libvirt configuration. Most of the VMs at the source did not
have a cdrom device (but some did) because I just added one as I needed to.
Now that the VMs have been imported into oVirt, none of them have a
cdrom device. Even booting with the "Attach CD" option doesn't create a
cdrom device. I can't see any way to get oVirt to re-create the missing
device.
Is there a way for me to add these missing devices to my VMs?
Unfortunately there is no supported way of doing that. In oVirt, we add a
cd-rom device for every VM during its creation and don't enable to add or
remove a cd-rom. If no cd-rom device is added by default during import from
libvirt then that's a bug, could you please file a bug on that (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com) ?
However, you can resolve it in a hacky way by modifying the database
directly:
insert into vm_device (device_id, vm_id, type, device, is_managed,
is_plugged, is_readonly, address) values (uuid_generate_v1(), (select
vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name='your-vm-name'), 'disk',
'cdrom', 't',
't', 't', '');
I'm running oVirt 4.1 on CentOS 7.3.1611 with a hosted engine setup. VMs
were migrated from a Debian Stretch machine running libvirt 3.0.0 with
qemu 2.8.0.
Thanks,
Chris
