Virtual Machine boot from a CD

593358Feb 5 2008 — edited Feb 9 2008
Hi all, a new virtual machine just recently installed and working is not able to boot from a CD. I was looking in the forums to find a solution and found this 2260932

so I did what was suggested and added boot option to my vm.cfg for this machine:
acpi = 1
apic = 1
boot = 'da'
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/System.img,hda,w',
'file:/OVS/running_pool/117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/Data.img,hdb,w',
',hdc:cdrom,r',
]
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
memory = '512'
name = '117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP'
on_crash = 'restart'
on_reboot = 'restart'
pae = 1
serial = 'pty'
usbdevice = 'tablet'
vcpus = 1
vif = ['x']
vnc = 1
vncconsole = 1
vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'
vncpasswd = 'zzzzzzz'
vncunused = 1

Now seems that the boot option is recognized as does not boot from hard disk (fine!), but it does not boot from cdrom, any ideas?

Thank you very much
Carlos
