Can't connect audio cd to virtual machines

I have a Windows VM under KVM-QEMU-Virt-manager, and I have been unable to get a CD to show under Windows



$ sudo virsh attach-disk myWINVM /dev/sr0 hdc --type cdrom
error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'eject': Device 'drive-ide0-1-0' is not removable


I get the same error trying to pass to a Linux guest.



If I use virt-manager GUI to attach sr0, Windows recognizes the disk but Windows can't access this The disk might be corrupt..... These are normal audio cds that work fine on other devices.
When I try to pass to Linux using this method, there is no error, but no media shows up in the guest.



I get the same pattern of errors if I use /dev/cdrom for the above steps. Is there something I am missing about how to connect CDs to VMs? Do I need to unmount it from the host in some way to make it available to to the guest? Is this an issue with my hardware?



edit: also, adding via the domain XML doesn't work. No error the cd just doesn't show.



<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/dev/sr0'/>
<target dev='hde' bus='scsi'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>


It seems I cannot create an additional IDE device because my machine type only supports a single IDE interface.

    Neither of those indicate that Audio CDs are supported, and indeed, they are not.

  • Thanks. It was not obvious to me from anything I read that audio CDs would be fundamentally different for this purpose.

    Holy carp, I think I was asleep when I wrote that because I don't remember it at all. That said, I think the problem with your XML is the hde bit; device targets really shouldn't start with hd anymore, they should be sd* devices.

    Oh, also note that you probably need to make the virtual system board Q35 instead of i440fx.
