Comment 1 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-09-13 09:19:58 UTC 
Patch for bz #645237 introduce check for image existence. However, libvirt pass empty string to disconect image from guest that cause error so disconnecting is not possible.
Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-10-26 14:06:55 UTC 
Fix built into xen-3.0.3-135.el5
Comment 8 Qixiang Wan 2011-12-15 12:25:41 UTC 
Verified with xen-3.0.3-135.el5.

With the xen <= -134, there is error message prompt when try to disconnect the cdrom device in virt-manager:
Error Removing CDROM: Requeseted operation is not valid:
Xm driver only supports modifying persistent config.

And xend raise the error as following:
  ...
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 1573, in reconfigureDevice
    return self.getDeviceController(deviceClass).reconfigureDevice(
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/blkif.py", line 130, in reconfigureDevice
    raise VmError("Can't read disk file %s" % new_back['params'])
VmError: Can't read disk file 

After update to xen-3.0.3-135.el5, there is no issue with disconnecting cdrom device.
