Bug 952499

Why do you think this is a bug? You are trying to instert an ISO into block device. If you want to insert an ISO image, you should be using <disk type='file'>.

I think this is a misconfiguration problem not a libvirt bug. As I've said in comment 1 you should be using <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>. However, if you or somebody else think otherwise, please reopen this bug.

It actually is a bug in virsh that doesn't allow to specify the correct media type when using the change-media virsh command.

I already proposed a patch that fixes 'virsh change-media'. It's part of series posted for review:

This series should fix this problem:

    conf: disk: Simplify checking if source definition was parsed
    
    Previously we had to check for 3 fields to see if the source was filled.
    Repurpose one of the variables as a boolean flag and use it instead of
    combining multiple sources.
    
    For the condition that checks that only CDROM/FLOPPY drives can be empty
    we can use the virStorageSourceIsEmpty() helper.

    util: storage: Fix check for empty storage device
    
    If the storage device type is parsed as network our parser still allows
    it to omit the <source> element. The empty drive check would not trigger
    on such device as it expects that every network storage source is valid.
    
    Use VIR_STORAGE_NET_PROTOCOL_NONE as a marker that the storage source is
    empty.

    qemu: driver: Fix cold-update of removable storage devices
    
    Only selected fields from the disk source were copied when cold updating
    source in a CDROM drive. When such drive was backed by a network file
    this resulted into corruption of the definition:
    
        <disk type='network' device='cdrom'>
          <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
          <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1(null)'>
            <host name='localhost'/>
          </source>
          <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
          <readonly/>
          <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
        </disk>
    
    Update the whole source instead of cherry-picking elements.

    virsh: domain: Fix the change-media command
    
    The command did not modify the disk type and thus didn't allow to change
    media from a file image to a block backed image or vice versa. In
    addition when operating on a network backed removable devices the
    command would replace the while <source> subelement with an invalid one.
    
    This patch adds the --block option that allows to specify that the new
    image is block backed and assumes that without that option all images
    are file backed. Since network backends were always mangled it should
    not cause problems.

    virsh: domain: Don't use vshPrepareDiskXML for creating XML to detach disk
    
    Since cmdDetachDisk() calls into vshPrepareDiskXML() with
    type == VSH_PREPARE_DISK_XML_NONE && source == NULL this would result
    into skipping all the checks and effectively turn the function into a
    XML formatter.
    
    This patch changes the code to use the formatter directly so that the
