This is what you should see if your images are uploaded and registered properly. Notice
the iso and vfd extensions. Vfd- virtual floppy drive. That’s the one with drivers for
windows and you need to load a driver in order for windows to see the disk.

I posted in the users list about how to populate the ISO so it actually functions as
intended.
This may be common knowledge so if it is redundant, apologies.
My ISO domain did not populate automatically but with some research I found out how to
utilize it and populate it.
If you have it in place with the correct permissions and security, you can manually
populate it using the api.
From the engine host at the command prompt:
# ovirt-iso-uploader list
This gives you the name of your iso domain. If it prompts for a passwd, it should the the
same as the admin@internal login.
The to upload files and populate it:
ovirt-iso-uploader -i ISO upload *.iso or *vfd for floppy images

Good day,
Whenever i am trying to use the change CD to mount the ovirt tools iso so i can install
windows server or any windows it says "could not find ISO file collection".
The guest tools iso needs to be on an iso/data domain.
Notice that if you are installing the VM from scratch it needs 2 things the windows iso as
a CD for the installation and the drivers floppy to be able to access the storage on
installation.
see:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/...
It doesn't pick up the hdd that i have created in the windwos setup so i have to do
the whole ovirt tools mount and select the windows i want to insteall etc.
Not sure what do you mean here, if you installed as the above procedure can you
elaborate?
It has been working fine until a couple of days ago when we had power outages. I also
noticed that the storage domain,ovirt-image-repository is unattached... How do i go about
fixing this problem or where can i check logs.

I have checked the permissions where the ISO's or images are stored.
- What is the engine version?
- Notice that we have a msi installer as part of the virtio-win package which is available
upstream, the installer fixes issues that we had with win10 and above
