Description Prasad Mukhedkar 2014-11-06 02:10:23 UTC 
Description of problem:


When working with a remote VM, if I want to attach ISOs or physical discs (to install software, update drivers, etc), without the ability to do a redirect of local ISO images or the local CD/DVD drive, I first have to create an image (if a physical disc) and then copy the disc image(s) over to the remote server. Then, I have to remember to delete those from the remote server when done.
This quickly becomes untenable when working with multiple servers. 

Having cdrom redirection feature will be very useful

One workaround is to use USB redirection with an external cdrom reader.
Comment 5 David Blechter 2015-06-18 13:49:22 UTC 
the best place to triage is the RFEs in RHEVM
Comment 6 Michal Skrivanek 2015-06-24 09:48:26 UTC 
this depends on availability in SPICE, then we can enable it
see bug 757137
Comment 7 spower 2018-07-03 10:46:18 UTC 
We agreed to remove RFEs component from Bugzilla, if you feel the component has been renamed incorrectly please reach out.

Opens potential security risks, and this is intentionally disabled
