So far I've managed to mount *something* into the VM, but it's being registered as a blank DVD within the VM. When I mount /dev/dvd into the bare-metal machine it registers normally as the DVD. How do I pass physical drives into a VM and back out using libvirt? </div><div><br></div><div>Command used:</div><div><div>#virsh attach-disk Montreal /dev/dvd hdc --mode readonly --driver phy --type cdrom</div><div>Connecting to uri: <a href="qemu:///system">qemu:///system</a></div><div>Disk attached successfully</div></div><div><br></div><div>VM XML file:</div><div><br></div><div><div><domain type='kvm'></div><div> <name>Montreal</name></div><div> <uuid>0f79ba7f-27bf-16a0-5887-6cfa2b5569f1</uuid></div><div> <memory>2097152</memory></div><div> <currentMemory>2097152</currentMemory></div><div> <vcpu>1</vcpu></div><div> <os></div><div> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type></div><div> <boot dev='hd'/></div><div> </os></div><div> <features></div><div> <acpi/></div><div> <apic/></div><div> <pae/></div><div> </features></div><div> <clock offset='utc'/></div><div> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff></div><div> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot></div><div> <on_crash>restart</on_crash></div><div> <devices></div><div> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator></div><div> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'></div><div> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/></div><div> <readonly/></div><div> </disk></div><div> <disk type='file' device='disk'></div><div> <source file='(Mangled Purposely)'/></div><div> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/></div><div> </disk></div><div> <interface type='bridge'></div><div> <mac address='(mangled purposly)/> </div><div> <source bridge='br0'/></div><div> <model type='virtio'/></div><div> </interface></div><div> <serial type='pty'></div><div> <target port='0'/></div><div> </serial></div><div> <console type='pty'></div><div> <target port='0'/></div><div> </console></div><div> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/></div><div> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/></div><div> <video></div><div> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/></div><div> </video></div><div> </devices></div><div></domain></div><div><br></div></div><div>Thanks in advance,<br><div>
