This bug is unlikely a bug for the Virtualization Guide. I suspect this bug
belongs to another component, most likely Xen or libvirt.

Dear Team,

Yes. This is belongs Xen / Libvert.

Please provide your guest config file from /etc/xen/GUEST-NAME and the XML
config from 'virsh dumpxml GUEST-NAME' while the guest is running.

I'm a bit confused what the problem is. Please explain the exact process you are
using to create the guest. What distro is in the guest?

If you are using virt-manager or virt-install please provide 'virsh dumpxml
GUESTNAME'.

Also, what exactly is the error message you are seeing? Are you trying to
install the guest off a cdrom, or just trying to mount the cdrom in an existing
guest?

From the xm config file your provided above, it looks like you are trying to run
a guest with /var/lib/xen/images/guest.img: is guest.img a bootable cdrom? Is it
just a RHEL 5.2 boot.iso, or some other iso that we can easily obtain to try and
reproduce this bug?

Dear Team,

Now i will explain the exact problem.

Problem 1
=========
I am using RHEL5.2 Kernel Version is 2.6.8-92

I created Virtual machine There also i used RHEL5.2 i mean in Virtual OS also 
RHEL5.2.

After succesfull installaation i could able to see CDROM appearing in COMPUTER.

I mean CDROM is appearing in virtual OS. this feature is not availabel in 
earlier version of RHEL5.2.

Than i tried to use CDROM in Virtual machine. I put a CD in CDROM and i tried 
to read the content. But i can not do that Because CDROM is not mounting in 
Virtual OS.

My exact problem is why i unable to use CDROM in Virtual OS.

Please help me to Solve this issue.

I want to use CDROM in Virtual OS.

Problem 2
=========

Test tool version     hts 5.2-16

I hope i could explain

All, 

This is to confirm that as of now CDROM test under FV GuestOS is not a
requirement for HW Certification. 

Red Hat HwCert team does not include FV CDROM test in catalog test-plan
requirement, hence HCL can ignore the same even if HTS tools adds CDROM to the
HTS-plan for system under certification.

Dear HCL Team, 

You were pointed out that bugzilla is not a support and interaction tool, I am closing this bug. 
Please use assistance guidelines as described in Hardware Certification Policy.
