Attributes:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Required | ||
type | string | Backing type for the virtual CD-ROM device. Defines the valid backing types for a virtual CD-ROM device. Value is one of: ISO_FILE: Virtual CD-ROM device is backed by an ISO file. HOST_DEVICE: Virtual CD-ROM device is backed by a device on the host where the virtual machine is running. CLIENT_DEVICE: Virtual CD-ROM device is backed by a device on the client that is connected to the virtual machine console. |
Optional | ||
iso_file | string | Path of the image file backing the virtual CD-ROM device. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value ISO_FILE. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of type is ISO_FILE. |
host_device | string | Name of the host device backing the virtual CD-ROM device. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value HOST_DEVICE. This field will be unset if auto_detect is true and the virtual CD-ROM device is not connected or no suitable device is available on the host. |
auto_detect | boolean | Flag indicating whether the virtual CD-ROM device is configured to automatically detect a suitable host device. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value HOST_DEVICE. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of type is HOST_DEVICE. |
device_access_type | string | Access type for the device backing. Defines the valid device access types for a physical device packing of a virtual CD-ROM device. Value is one of: EMULATION: ATAPI or SCSI device emulation. PASSTHRU: Raw passthru device access. PASSTHRU_EXCLUSIVE: Raw passthru device access, with exclusive access to the device.Optional. It is only relevant when type has value [HOST_DEVICE, CLIENT_DEVICE]. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of type is one of HOST_DEVICE or CLIENT_DEVICE. |
