On the WDS server you must add the drivers to the image.

But pay attention here. The drivers from the oVirt release aren’t signed from a trusted authority from Windows. Only the drivers from RHV (the downstream and paid software from RH, based on oVirt).

WDS needs properly signed drivers for network install.

You’ll never be able to install it over PXE from WDS with the oVirt Drivers.

Change the network card to something generic like rtl8139 and them change back to VirtIO or install manually without PXE.

Would a e1000 or rtl8139 work for your scenario?

Do you want to provision Windows into an oVirt VM?

 

I have the necessary drivers loaded

 

I am not familiar with the Windows deployment server.

Would you help me to understand which drivers are loaded to what?

 

and initially it gets an IP and starts the installation.

 

I understand that the windows installer is starting. Where does he get the files from?

 

When it comes to the screen starting setup, I get an IP error. I have included a screenshot.

 

Might this be related to network drivers?

If Windows in an oVirt VM, what is the type of the virtual NIC?

Maybe using the e1000 or rtl8139 as type of the virtual NIC helps until the VirtIO drivers are ins
talled?

 

Has anyone see this before?

I also considered provisioning from Foreman but I would rather use what I have instead of recreating the entire installation.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the actual error:
