Virtualization: Configuration
Options and Settings
The documentation in this section, describes advanced management tasks and configu-
ration options that might help technology innovators implement leading-edge virtual-
ization solutions. It is provided as a courtesy and does not imply that all documented
options and tasks are supported by Novell, Inc.
Virtualization technology is being rapidly developed. In an effort to keep you up to
date on the most current information, this documentation will be updated more often
than traditional Novell product documentation. To create a more dynamic environment,
it will quickly include any feedback and new virtualization discoveries made by you
and other users through the User Comments feature at the bottom of each page.
Although a more dynamic documentation environment can be beneficial, there will also
be some drawbacks. The information might not have gone through a formal editing
cycle before being published. The information might be less authoritative, might not
completely cover obvious topics, and could have more typos than traditional product
documentation. It might also include untested instructions for virtualization procedures
you might want to try.
5.1 Virtual CD Readers
Virtual CD readers can be set up when a virtual machine is created or added to an ex-
isting virtual machine. A virtual CD reader can be based on a physical CD/DVD, or
based on an ISO image. Virtual CD readers work differently depending on whether
they are paravirtual or fully virtual.
