When processing node devices, the udevProcessStorage() will be called if the device is some form of storage. In here, ID_TYPE attribute is queried and depending on its value one of more specialized helper functions is called. For instance, for ID_TYPE=="cd" the udevProcessCDROM() is called, for ID_TYPE=="disk" the udevProcessDisk() is called, and so on. But there's a problem with ID_TYPE and its values. Coming from udev, we are not guaranteed that ID_TYPE will contain "cd" for CDROM devices. In fact, there's a rule installed by sg3_utils that will overwrite ID_TYPE to "cd/dvd" leaving us with an unhandled type. Fortunately, this was fixed in their upstream, but there are still versions out there, on OS platforms that we aim to support that contain the problematic rule. Therefore, we should accept both strings.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
