Hi,
In VirtualMedia.v1_3_2 latest Schema, we have provision for USB Storage Device emulation but not for USB/HD Images.
"MediaType": {
"enum": [
"CD",
"Floppy",
"USBStick",
"DVD"
],
"enumDescriptions": {
"CD": "A CD-ROM format (ISO) image.",
"DVD": "A DVD-ROM format image.",
"Floppy": "A floppy disk image.",
"USBStick": "An emulation of a USB storage device."
},
"type": "string"
}
Can you help to add it in future under MediaType?

The distinction being that the existing "USBStick" enumeration is referring to an emulation of a USB storage device with a simple filesystem. But emulating a hard drive (also a USB storage device) includes a partition table. However, both are still "USB Mass Storage".
So I think we'd need to clarify the description of "USBStick" to read "An emulation of a USB storage device using a filesystem."
And add a new "USBHardDrive" enumeration that would represent "An emulation of a USB hard drive." Perhaps include in the normative 'LongDescription' that this means the device emulates a partition table to appear to the system as a hard drive.
I'll bring this up with the group.

Can we plan to have this Enumeration added in the new Schema ? May I know in which Schema Set are you planning to add this ? Thanks.

I apologize, there doesn't seem to a be resolution here, so it appears to have slipped through the cracks. I'll bring this up to the group next week and get an answer.

After further discussion, it seems like we have the USB mass storage covered, but perhaps for anything else that is just "storage" we may need to add that distinction? We would probably clarify that anything that presents as a USB storage device would be covered by "USBStick" and if something is connecting via SAS/SATA/PCIe it would be considered "Storage"?
