How to Insert new CD while vm is running

[xiheasas]

Hi all,

I have built a virutalbox with only command line. Then I try to install FEDORA in the VBOX vm. After installing packages from DISK #1, I was informed to insert a new CD DISK. I used VBoxManger to change the CDROM content, but it did work.

Code: Select all

VBoxHeadless --startvm linux_test &
VBoxManger storageattach linux_test --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium /disk2.iso
(the console hangs with no output)

Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

If it's an ISO, then you have to 'unmount' the loaded ISO first. So first run this, then your command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage storageattach linux_test --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium none
