October 9, 20223 yr So I had ejected the virtio iso image from a VM because it wasn't needed. But now that I do need it for something, how do I reattach it without shutting down the VM? When I click on the bullseye icon next to "No CD image inserted into drive" I get a popup where I can presumably select an iso image. This does not list the previously attached iso. See attachment. Where is it looking for isos? Clearly not where I set it to look for isos, which in my case happens to be `/mnt/ssd/vm/iso/` and the terminal reveals that the virtio iso is definitely in there, and with `-rwxrwxrwx` permissions at that. So it must be looking elsewhere for isos, but where? And why not in the isos directory? Edited October 9, 20223 yr by thany typo

It should take the path from the settings and show the ISOs. manual options is as follows root@computenode:/mnt/disk1/@Documents/Virtio/Downloads# virsh domblklist "Windows 10" --details Type Device Target Source ------------------------------------------------------------------- file disk hdc /mnt/user/domains/Windows 10/vdisk1.img file cdrom hda /mnt/user/isos/Windows10.iso file cdrom hdb /mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.221-1.iso root@computenode:/mnt/disk1/@Documents/Virtio/Downloads# virsh change-media "Windows 10" hdb --eject Successfully ejected media. root@computenode:/mnt/disk1/@Documents/Virtio/Downloads# virsh change-media "Windows 10" hdb /mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.221-1.iso --insert Successfully inserted media. root@computenode:/mnt/disk1/@Documents/Virtio/Downloads#
October 9, 20223 yr Author I guess then maybe I've found a bug. Too bad I cannot see where it's actually looking for isos in that dropdown... Maybe that would give the author a hint towards a fix, assuming it's a bug and not my mistake somehow. Manual command works a charm. Brilliant. Thanks for the reply
