Attach Second Optical Drive to Windows VM


Go to solution Solved by Greatestguru,

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am currently using the code listed below for one of my drives. How can I code in the another optical drive?

 

<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'/> 
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
  <source>
  <adapter name='scsi_host5'/>
  <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
  </source>
  <readonly/> 
  <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</hostdev>

 

Thanks,

Guru

Make sure the first part has the model equalling 'virtio-scsi'. Doing so will allow the vm to recognize the optical drives and install drivers.

 

...
    <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/>
    </controller>
    <controller type='scsi' index='1' model='virtio-scsi'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0c' function='0x0'/>
    </controller>
...
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host2'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host6'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </hostdev>
...
