Hi !!
Reading the oVirt installation guide says that when a local ISO
storage domain is configured during installation the virtio-win ISO
and Virtual Floppy Drive (VFD) images, containing the VirtIO drivers
for Windows virtual machines, are automatically copied to the new
storage domain. The rhev-tools-setup ISO, containing the oVirt Guest
Tools for Windows virtual machines are also copied to the domain.
I'm running oVirt under FC 16, and I don't have those packages
installed, what could it be ?
I downloaded from
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/ the
iso file but it doesn't have the floppy file (useful for the Windows
setup installation) and also drivers for Windows 2008.
Under RHEV when having a Windows VM at the admin GUI you can see what
applications are installed, IP address, who's logged in, etc., on the
VM. This is possible on oVirt too ?
Is there any guest tool for Linux VMs ? (RHEL or CentOS)
Thanks!
Regards.-

This is a known limit of ovirt. You
can use the Same ISO / floppy disk
for windows that is used for RHEV. For whatever reason the floppy isn't
available from Red Hat any-more. You can get the last known release of
it using the way back machine.

I have no access to RHEL to confirm but I have been told that RHEV
drivers work fine under ovirt.
CentOS you can download those from
http://wiki.dreyou.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/ovirt_rpm_start . You need to
add the repo listed at the top and then if you look at the bottom there
is the install for the guest.
Thanks
