If you hot add a virtual CD-ROM device to a virtual machine running on Oracle VM Server for SPARC, the CD-ROM device is not detected as a removable device and is not shown when you run the rmformat or format commands. Instead, the device is listed as a virtual disk and is mapped this way as a device alias. This can be verified using the OpenBoot PROM to run the show-disks and devalias commands.
Workaround: There is no
workaround to this issue. Remain aware that when hot-adding a
virtual CD-ROM device, this is detected as a virtual disk instead
and is mapped in Solaris as a
/dev/dsk/c1d
entry.
