Question
Is there a possibility to mount ISO images on existing SolusVM 2 VM?
Answer
There is a feature request to add Mount ISO functionality on our Suggest Idea portal and it has Under Consideration status. It means that the request has been reviewed by our developers and is on the evaluation stage.
In the meantime it is possible to mount ISO manually via VPS's configuration file:
- Log into SolusVM 2 and find virtual machine's UUID
- Create configuration file backup (replace PATH with the path to a file you want to save backup):
# virsh dumpxml UUID > PATH
- Start editing the configuration of the virtual machine as per the command below:
# virsh edit UUID
-
Change the boot order and path to ISO:
CONFIG_TEXT: ...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='cdrom'/> << change this line
</os>
...
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='path-to-iso'/> << put the path to corresponding iso file
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk> - Reboot virtual machine after editing configuration to apply changes:
# virsh reboot UUID
