Floppy Disk Drive Management Parameters

This group of parameters is used to add floppy disk drives to a virtual machine and to modify existing virtual floppy disk drives.

Syntax

prlctl set ID | VM_name --device-add fdd [ --device name ]

[ --enable | --disable ][ --connect | --disconnect ]

prlctl set ID | VM_name --device-set fdd [ --device name ]

[ --enable | --disable ][ --connect | --disconnect ]

Parameters

Name	Description
`ID`	The virtual machine ID.
`VM_name`	The virtual machine name.
`fdd`	Specifies the type of the virtual device to add or modify (in this instance, a floppy disk drive).
`--device-add`	Adds a new floppy disk drive to the virtual machine. You can connect only one floppy disk drive to a virtual machine.
`--device-set`	Modifies the parameters of an existing virtual floppy disk drive.
`--device` `name`	The name of the physical floppy disk drive to connect to the virtual machine. If this parameter is omitted, a floppy drive image emulating the floppy disk drive will be created.
`--enable`	Enables the specified floppy disk drive. All newly added floppy drives are enabled by default (provided the `--disable` option was omitted during the drive creation).
`--disable`	Disables the specified floppy disk drive. The drive itself is not removed from the virtual machine configuration.
`--connect`	Connect the specified floppy disk drive automatically during the virtual machine startup process.
`--disconnect`	Use this option if you don't want the specified floppy disk drive automatically connected to the virtual machine on its start.
`--image` `path`	The name and path of an existing floppy disk image file (usually `floppy.fdd` ) to mount in the virtual machine.
