Version: v1.8 (Dev)

CD-ROM Hotplug

Available as of v1.8.0

Harvester supports hotplugging and hotunplugging CD-ROM volumes for running virtual machines. This feature allows you to insert and eject images from CD-ROM devices.

note

You cannot perform CD-ROM volume hotplugging on existing CD-ROM devices of virtual machines created in clusters running Harvester versions earlier than v1.8.0.

In addition, it is important to distinguish this feature from attaching or detaching the CD-ROM device itself, which still typically requires a VM restart.
