Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

VMWare Fusion 5 can set the CD-ROM's device name to be 'auto detect' when
using the physical drive via 'cdrom-raw' device type. VMWare will then
connect to first available host CD-ROM to the virtual machine upon start
up according to VMWare documentation. If no device is available, it
appears that the device will remain disconnected.
To better model this a CD-ROM that is marked as "auto detect" when in
the off state would be modeled as the following with this patch:
<disk type='block' device='lun'>
<source startupPolicy='optional'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
Once the domain transitions to the powered on state, libvirt can
populate the remaining source data with what is connected, if anything.
However future power cycles, the domain may not always start with that
device attached.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
