Fixed in virt-manager-0.6.1-14.el5 Reproduce: virt-manager-0.6.1-13.el5 libvirt-0.8.2-18.el5 Verfied it on build : virt-manager-0.6.1-14.el5 libvirt-0.8.2-18.el5 Steps: 1. Lauch virt-manager, select a guest which has a cdrom device, go to Hardware tab. 2. Select the cdrom device, disconnect the original media. 3. Connect "an iso image file" or "physical cdrom (/dev/sr0)" to the cdrom device, and dumpxml the xml. 4. The domain could be successfully started. Verification process in detail:
Reproduce:
virt-manager-0.6.1-13.el5
libvirt-0.8.2-18.el5
Verified it on build :
virt-manager-0.6.1-14.el5
libvirt-0.8.2-18.el5
Steps:
1. Lauch virt-manager, select a guest which has a cdrom device, go to Hardware
tab.
2. Select the cdrom device, disconnect the original media.
3. Connect "an iso image file" or "physical cdrom (/dev/sr0)" to the cdrom
device, and dumpxml the xml.
xml file about cdrom:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/dev/sr0'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<alias name='ide1-cd0'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/>
</disk>
xml file about iso image:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/home/RHEL5.6-Server-20110106.0-x86_64-DVD.iso'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<alias name='ide1-cd0'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/>
</disk>
4. The domain could be successfully started.

Description of problem: virt-manager specify incorrect disk driver when change media for guest. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.8.2-6.el5 virt-manager-0.6.1-13.el5 # uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-225.el5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 27 10:32:19 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lauch virt-manager, select a guest which has a cdrom device, go to Hardware tab. 2. Select the cdrom device, disconnect the original media. 3. Connect "an iso image file" or "physical cdrom (/dev/sr0)" to the cdrom device, and dumpxml the xml. 4. Try to start the domain. Actual results: When connect "an iso image file" to the cdrom device, the following xml is seen: # virsh dumpxml rhel5u5|grep -A 6 cdrom <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='file' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL5.5-Server-20100322.0-x86_64-DVD.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> In the line - "<driver name='file' type='raw'/>", driver name is incorrect, should be "qemu". When connect "physical cdrom (/dev/sr0)" to the cdrom device, the following xml is seen: # virsh dumpxml rhel5u5|grep -A 6 cdrom <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='phy' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sr0'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> In the line - "<driver name='phy' type='raw'/>", driver name is incorrect, should be "qemu". And failed to start the domain. Expected results: The disk driver should be qemu, and start the domain successfully after change the media fo guest. Additional info:
