[libvirt-users] remove cdrom after installing os on a guest

[Andrei Perietanu]

Hi all,
I have the following issue, and I hope someone know a way to handle it.

I need to grammatically  need to create/install a guest OS using the
libvirt API.
Currently what I do:
 1. create a xml with the vm configuration (this will include a path to the
iso image)
 2. connection.defineXML(<my_config>)
 3. vm = connection.lookupByName(<domain_name>)
 4. vm.create()

This will create a new guest and boot the iso to install the OS. But after
installation, when I restart, It again boots from the cdrom. So obviously I
need remove the cdrom somehow.

I could edit the xml and manually remove the cdrom, but the problem here is
how do I know when to do that - i.e. how do I know if the OS has been
installed or not?

If I use virsh-install to create a guest with the same configuration, after
the OS is installed, the cdrom is automatically removed form the guest
configuration.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Andrei
