Hi to all

Anybody can help me?

I have problems to use online and offline CD/DVD disc image file (iso) with qemu 1.3 over old existing VMs, the VM don't mount the ISO file into virtual cd, tested with VMs: wkp and w2008R2

Curiously, if I create a new VM wxp, then the VM mount the ISO file into the virtual cd - work well.

wxp conf file:
acpi: 1
boot: c
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 2
cpu: host
cpuunits: 1000
freeze: 0
ide2: Almacen_extra:iso/virtio-win-0.1-49.iso,media=cdrom
kvm: 1
memory: 512
name: Win-XP-32b
net0: virtio=06:3C:9C:D0:68:2D,bridge=vmbr0
onboot: 0
ostype: wxp
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
sockets: 1
virtio0: local:101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2,size=32G

My PVE version is updated:
pve-manager: 2.2-32 (pve-manager/2.2/3089a616)

Hi,
For your old vms, what wad the proxmox version when you create them ?
If you go in windows device manager, do you the see the cdrom drive ?

Hi spirit
Tha old VMs was created with PVE 2.0
The "windows device manager" and "windows explorer" see the cdrom drive

Notes:
1- With qemu 1.2 I had no problems
2- The same problem with KVM VM Centos 6.2 x86_64, created with PVE 2,0 or 2.1 or 2.2 - i don't remember well

I believe that is a bug on PVE ¿? ¿? ¿?

Please help !!!

Best regards
Cesar

Edit - Ahh forget it:
Note 3: With hardware cdrom drive into the host PVE I have no problems for use it into the VM
