QA:Testcase Virt Change CDROM Media

Description

Change ISO media for a running guest.

Setup

Functioning virt host and VM. All VM OS welcome.

How to test

Add an empty CDROM device

If the guest does not have a CDROM device attached to it, add one:

• Open virt-manager. Start with a shutoff VM.
• Details->Add Hardware->Storage
• Select 'Select managed or existing storage' but leave the text field blank. This creates a CDROM device with no media attached.
• Select Device type: IDE CDROM
• Select Finish

Change media in virt-manager

• Start the VM. Log in to the desktop environment.
• In virt-manager, select the CDROM device in the Details window.
• Click 'Connect'. Specify ISO media of your choice. Click 'OK'.
• Verify that the media is accessible in the guest.
• In virt-manager, click 'Disconnect'.
  • There is a bug here on F19 host: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967914
• Verify the media is no longer present in the guest.

Change media with virsh

• With the guest still running as above, stay connected to the guest with virt-manager
• In a terminal, insert media to the cdrom: sudo virsh change-media test-day-vm hdc /path/to/my.iso
• Verify the media is usable in the guest
• Eject the media: sudo virsh change-media test-day-vm hdc --eject
• Verify the media is no longer present in the guest.

Expected Results

No obvious errors occur.
