That sounds rather important to know, thank you. Seems like the docs at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/vmm-guide/chap-Installing_Windows_Virtua... reaaaally need some serious updating. For example, they do also mention virtio-win.vfd .... but say that gets added to "The default storage domain", which you folks just said is deprecated. So there needs to be a non-deprecated way spelled out of getting these things? Im not sure where to get that vfd now either. I successfully did a "yum install virtio-win" ... however, the contents of the package do not seem to contain "virtio-win.vfd". Ahhh.. again, the documentation needs to be updated. There is no "virtio-win.vfd", in the package, but there IS /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_amd64.vfd /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_servers_amd64.vfd /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_servers_x86.vfd /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_x86.vfd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gal Zaidman" <gzaidman@redhat.com> To: "Nir Soffer" <nsoffer@redhat.com> Cc: "Philip Brown" <pbrown@medata.com>, "Jeremey Wise" <jeremey.wise@gmail.com>, "users" <users@ovirt.org>, "Arik Hadas" <ahadas@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2020 12:39:00 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Re: ISO Repo On Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 8:48 PM Nir Soffer <nsoffer@redhat.com> wrote:

well, I havent used it before :)
I just discovered that some windows VMs of ours needed guest additions,
and looked for the right way to handle it for ovirt.
OH. I think you are implying perhaps that modern windows VMs
automatically have hooks for virtual hosting?
Sad to say, these are ... "older"*cough* Vms.
I don't know how the windows guest tools are shipped now, but Gal should know.
The Windows VM guest agents and drivers are a part of the virtio-win package, you can install the RPM which will contain the ISO or download the iso directly from: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-vir... The iso contains an exe that will install all that is needed, just make sure to mark option->install ovirt guest agent
If you have this ISO, you can upload it to some data domain. After that you can attach it to any VM.

Maybe it is not needed now?
How did you use this ISO before? uploaded it to ISO domain?
