LimeB Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I am having a hard time getting an optical drive to passthrough. I had it working just fine for years with Windows 10. I have since built a new VM with Windows 11, pretty sure it was working when initially set it up but many months later trying to use this VM again, it's not working. I am trying to passthrough this drive: SCSI Devices [1:0:0:0]cd/dvd HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS40 1.02 /dev/sr0 Here is my XML: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm'> <name>HomeVM</name>

Since you are passing the optical drive only and not the whole controller, the optical drive is attached to a virtio emulated scsi controller and you need drivers for it, drivers are not included in windows. So, open device manager and manually install drivers for the 2 controllers (option "I have a disk"). After mounting the virtio iso inside the vm, point the driver search to x:\vioscsi\w11\amd64\ directory. If you have issues with the 225 virtio release try the latest one: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.229-1/virtio-win-0.1.229.iso Edited June 21, 2023 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment
LimeB Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Appreciate the quick reply. I tried using the updated virtio drivers you linked but Windows says it was unable to install. Since it is my E drive I have tried: E:\ E:\vioscsi\ E:\vioscsi\w11\ E:\vioscsi\w11\amd64 And selected to include subfolders. Quote Link to comment
SimonF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 @LimeBHave you tried a different controller type like SATA? Or trye using the sg name for the path instead of sr sg_map will showing the mapping. I know that I need to attach the sg for makemkv docker to make it work. root@computenode:~# sg_map /dev/sg1 /dev/sdb /dev/sg2 /dev/sdc /dev/sg3 /dev/sdd /dev/sg4 /dev/sde /dev/sg5 /dev/sdf /dev/sg6 /dev/sdg /dev/sg7 /dev/sdh /dev/sg8 /dev/sdi /dev/sg9 /dev/sdj root@computenode:~# or create a disk mapping like you nvme drive with block type=cdrom Quote Link to comment
LimeB Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Kind of put this to the side and forgot about it but now I want to try to get this figured out.
