Attributes:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Optional | ||
type | string | Type of host bus adapter to which the device should be attached. Optional. If unset, guest-specific default values will be used. |
ide | ide_address_spec | Address for attaching the device to a virtual IDE adapter. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value IDE. If unset, the server will choose an available address; if none is available, the request will fail. |
sata | sata_address_spec | Address for attaching the device to a virtual SATA adapter. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value SATA. If unset, the server will choose an available address; if none is available, the request will fail. |
backing | backing_spec | Physical resource backing for the virtual CD-ROM device. Optional. If unset, defaults to automatic detection of a suitable host device. |
start_connected | boolean | Flag indicating whether the virtual device should be connected whenever the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. Defaults to false if unset. |
allow_guest_control | boolean | Flag indicating whether the guest can connect and disconnect the device. Optional. Defaults to false if unset. |
