| Doc Text | Cause: Libvirt has a driver for ESX hypervisor. However its representation of domain config is different to libvirt's. Therefore libvirt must do some parsing and translation into and from its native XML format. However, some values are not handled yet. Consequence: One of the values not handled yet was "emptyBackingString" which can occur as a path to cdrom-image device. This is how ESX marks empty CD-ROMs. Libvirt wasn't taught to deal with that and therefore failed translation producing an error message whilst doing that. Fix: Libvirt was taught to deal with new ESX ways of marking empty CD-ROMs. Result: Users can now work with ESX domains with empty CD-ROMs without any error. |

Fix: Libvirt was taught to deal with new ESX ways of marking empty CD-ROMs. Result: Users can now work with ESX domains with empty CD-ROMs without any error. | Previously, when using the libvirt library with the VMWare ESXi hypervisor, loading a guest virtual machine that contained empty CD-ROM images failed with an "internal error" message. With this update, libvirt is able to successfully parse ESXi configuration values for empty CD-ROM images, and the described failure no longer occurs. | ||
