6 When assigning an image file, use the following command:
xm block-attach alice file:/path/to/file.iso xvdb r
7 The image files may easily be removed by using virt-manager. However,
note that when adding CD readers, virt-manager uses a different device
backend for the CD reader that is not capable of changing CDs.
8 A new block device, such as /dev/xvdb, is added to the virtual machine.
9 If the virtual machine is running Linux, complete the following:
9a Open a terminal in the virtual machine and enter fdisk -l to verify that
the device was properly added. You can also enter ls /sys/block to
see all disks available to the virtual machine.
The CD is recognized by the virtual machine as a virtual disk with a drive
designation, for example,
/dev/xvdb
9b Enter the command to mount the CD or ISO image using its drive designation.
For example,
mount -o ro /dev/xvdb /mnt
mounts the CD to a mount point named /mnt.
The CD or ISO image file should be available to the virtual machine at the
specified mount point.
10 If the virtual machine is running Windows, reboot the virtual machine.
Verify that the virtual CD reader appears in its My Computer section
