There is any way to access the KVM or launch a virtual device (mount a CDROM) from the XML API?

Class "lsbootVirtualMedia"should allow you to do that. Here is an example where you can access the virtual-media. I will have to search if we can chose the cdrom and launch it though .
 
<configResolveChildren cookie="<some cookie>" response="yes" classId="lsbootVirtualMedia"> <outConfigs>  <lsbootVirtualMedia access="read-write"  dn="sys/chassis-1/blade-1/boot-policy/read-write-vm" order="4"   type="virtual-media"/>  <lsbootVirtualMedia access="read-only"  dn="sys/chassis-1/blade-1/boot-policy/read-only-vm" order="3"   type="virtual-media"/> </outConfigs> </configResolveChildren>

I think this is to modify a boot configuration policy, and boot from virtual media. I want to access the KVM from another page (without the use of user and password), or mount a cdrom (iso image) and then boot the server from a program (for example to do a automatic installation).
 
Best regards.

Unfortunately, the API to access the KVM is actually not available as it is not processed by DME and KVM access is directed via CIMC.
