Hi Chris,
Indeed, the ISO domains are deprecated, and you can use a data domain for uploading iso
files (as you've mentioned).
To do that, you need to use image-io for uploading images
Here's image-io documentation: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-imageio/overview.html.
Then you can use the UI (admin portal) or REST API for uploading the iso image to the
relevant storage domain.
Shani, I think Chris asked specifically about booting from an image. See e.g.:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122970#c34
Is that intended to be handled? It seems like we gave up on removing
the ISO domain concept, perhaps also because of this missing feature -
see last few comments of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1543512
Adding Michal. Michal - IMO we should make up our minds and provide a
clear view - either undeprecate the ISO domain - remove deprecation
notices from everywhere - or provide concrete plans to fill the
missing gaps.
Best regards,
Regards,
Shani Leviim
