Configuring Virtual Devices
In Parallels Cloud Server, you can use the
Finding Out Device Names
To configure a virtual device, you need to specify its name when running the
# prlctl list --info MyVM ... Hardware: cpu 2 VT-x accl=high mode=32 memory 256Mb video 46Mb fdd0 (+) real='/dev/fd0' state=disconnected hdd0 (+) sata:0 image='/var/parallels/MyVM.pvm/harddisk.hdd' 27000Mb hdd1 (+) scsi:0 image='/var/parallels/MyVM.pvm/harddisk1.hdd' 32768Mb cdrom0 (+) ide:1 real='Default CD/DVD-ROM' parallel0 (+) real='/dev/lp0' usb (+) net0 (+) type=bridged iface='eth1' mac=001C4201CED0 ...
All virtual devices currently available to the virtual machine are listed under
Configuring Virtual Devices
Once you know the virtual device name, you can configure its properties. For example, you can execute the following command to configure the current type of the virtual disk
# prlctl set MyVM --device-set hdd1 --iface scsi The VM has been successfully configured.
To check that the virtual disk type has been successfully changed, use the
# prlctl list --info MyVM ... hdd0 (+) scsi:1 image='/var/parallels/MyVM.pvm/harddisk.hdd' 85000Mb ... Connecting and Disconnecting Virtual Devices In Parallels Cloud Server, you can connect or disconnect certain devices when a virtual machine is running. These devices include:
Usually, all virtual devices are automatically connected to a virtual machine when you create them. To disconnect a device from the virtual machine, you can use the
# prlctl set MyVM --device-disconnect cdrom0 Disconnect device: cdrom0 The VM has been successfully configured. To connect the CD/DVD-ROM drive back, you can run the following command: # prlctl set MyVM --device-connect cdrom0 Connect device: cdrom0 The VM has been successfully configured. |
