[one-users] cannot use a iso based cdrom in vmware

[Carlos A.]

Hi,

for generated domain:
----------------------cut here--------------------------------
<domain type='vmware'>
<name>one-566</name>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<memory>262144</memory>
<os>
<type arch='i686'>hvm</type>
</os>
<devices>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<source file='[standard] 566/images/iso'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<driver name='raw'/>
</disk>
</devices>
</domain>
----------------------cut here--------------------------------

now I get the next error:

$ /srv/cloud/one/bin/tty_expect -u myadmin -p XXXXXX virsh -c 
gsx://myhost?no_verify=1 define /srv/cloud/one/var/566/deployment.0

error: Failed to define domain from /srv/cloud/one/var/566/deployment.0
error: internal error Image file for IDE cdrom 'hda' has unsupported 
suffix, expecting '.iso'

The files have been properly copied but in fact they have a name other 
than *.iso. What I have in the VMWare repository is

myadmin at myhost:/var/lib/vmware/VirtualMachines/566/images$ ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 2 myadmin myadmin 4096 2011-05-17 17:03 disk.0

As you can see cdrom file types are not properly copied.

It seems to be easy to find a workaround (just rename the file in case 
that it is a cdrom type), but also use the proper file name. But 
currently vmware files are transfered in a different way (they are 
stored into folders to deal with parted disk files).

Regards,
Carlos A.
