Inserts an ISO in an existing CD/DVD drive

cloudmin insert-media [--multiline | --json]
                      [--no-wait]
                      (--name name | --id uuid)
                      --pool ID|name
                      --target value
                      --volume value

Inserts an ISO volume into an existing CD/DVD drive on the machine selected by --name or --id. Find the drive target with list-disks, then supply that --target, the --pool containing the ISO and its --volume name. The volume name is not an image ID or a host path.

This changes the drive’s media; it does not create a drive, install an operating system or change boot order. For a stopped machine without a CD drive, modify-system --enable-live can add one. Set the desired boot device separately with modify-system --boot.

Supported guests can change media while running. The command waits for the hardware job unless --no-wait is supplied. Use eject-media to remove the media without deleting its storage volume.

cloudmin insert-media --name guest.example.com --target sda --pool \
    default --volume installer.iso

Options:

  • --id uuid: Source virtual machine UUID.
  • --name name: Source virtual machine name.
  • --pool ID|name: Destination storage pool ID or name.
  • --target value: CD/DVD target.
  • --volume value: ISO volume name.
