qemu with more than just one DVD drive?
 

Hi there,

I want to set up a qemu machine. Is it possible to have more than just one CD/DVD drive and have all 3 (6 see PS) of the DVD images/ISOs in them?

TIA

Gregor

PS: Concrete scenario: There are 3 "base" and 3 "update" DVDs for Debian 7, so I'd like to have all of them in 6 virtual DVD drives.

PPS: Marked thread as solved. Using

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda platte.raw \

-smp 3 \
-netdev tap,ifname=tap0,id=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \
-device e1000,netdev=tap0 \

-drive file=/home/gszaktilla/dokumente/platz/wheezy/debian-7.11.0-amd64-DVD-3.iso,media=cdrom \

does it. Trying to use more than three of those drive lines resulted in error messages.

It's better if you post solutions as a follow-up post, because:

1) it removes the thread from the list of "Zero Reply Threads".
2) it causes anyone who might have subscribed to get notified (which editing doesn't do).
