Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virt-manager
I am running Hardy with all the update, as well as the proposed update
to virt-manager: 0.5.3-0ubuntu10. I have successfully installed and am
running a Windows XP virtual machine. The virtual machine currently has
a disk image as the only hard drive and an .iso of the windows XP
installation CD as the only CD. I now want to use a different CD, but I
am having problems. When I try to add another CD device from the
"Virtual Machine Details" window, I get the following error:
Unable to complete install: 'There are no more available virtual disk
device nodes'
When I try to "disconnect" the current CD (which presumably allows me to
choose a different ISO to attach?), I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 851, in
toggle_cdrom
self.vm.disconnect_cdrom_device(self.window.get_widget("disk-target-device").get_text())
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 610, in
disconnect_cdrom_device
self._change_cdrom(result, origdisk)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 557, in
_change_cdrom
self.vm.attachDevice(newxml)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 214, in attachDevice
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainAttachDevice() failed',
dom=self)
libvirtError: virDomainAttachDevice() failed only CDROM disk devices can be
attached
When I eject the existing Windows XP CD from inside the virtual machine,
this works, but there is no way to "insert" a new CD.
The only solution that I have found is to shutoff the virtual machine,
delete the existing IDE CD and re-add the IDE CD, but now pointing to
the new .iso file. This works, but is not very practical.
