-----------------------------------------
Summary: Allow creating a VM without virtual CD-ROM drive
Key: CLOUDSTACK-4197
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4197
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Hypervisor Controller
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Kirk Kosinski
Priority: Minor
Currently all VMs that CloudStack creates will include a virtual CD-ROM drive.
In some cases, such as with virtual appliances (e.g. NetScaler VPX), a CD-ROM
drive is not needed or even unsupported. It would be useful if CloudStack could
deploy a VM without a CD-ROM drive to allow such cases.
Perhaps such functionality could be added using new OS Types, for example:
Other - No CD-ROM (32-bit)
Other - No CD-ROM (64-bit)
Other PV - No CD-ROM (32-bit)
Other PV - No CD-ROM (64-bit)
Or maybe it could be added on a per VM or per template basis with a new
configuration parameter. This might be more flexible since some customers might
want to use arbitrary OS types for VMs with no CD-ROM.
