[Xen-users] Fwd: WinXP HVM access to CDROM ?

[Paul Reilly <pareilly@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm running Xen 3.2.1-rc1   - the version of Xen which comes with Ubuntu 8.04
I have a WindowsXP domU running fine using HVM (config below).
However I cannot seem to get to to access the CD/DVD drive.

My CD/DVD drive is /dev/scd0
My domU config line is:

disk    = [ 'phy:/dev/loop17,ioemu:hda,w', 'phy:/dev/scd0,xvdc:cdrom,r' ,]

But windows does not detect the CDROM.
I've tried xm block-attach ing this device but no difference.

  xm block-attach 3 phy:/dev/scd0 /dev/xvda2 r

Can anyone tell me what the correct device naming should be for a HVM windows
install running under Xen 3.2.1 ?

I do not care for the CD/DVD in Ubuntu - I just want to dedicate it to the Windows VM,

Cheers,
Paul
