So, what's the point of all-in-one if you cannot upload ISOs and

Is there an alternative way to setup a VM in all-in-one, such as boot from PXE or
something?
You can actually upload directly via scp to the iso domain, just make
sure to;
chown -v vdsm:
/path/to/iso/domain/local_iso_domain/0000000-0000-0000-0000-000000/images/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/uploaded-file.iso
the system will still see it and you can attach to vms at boot;
you can also use pxe, i like the "fai" project for this.
Regardless, the all-in-one setup was just for learning purposes.
I may try a different install approach, and try to get the self-hosted engine working.
That said, I'm still unclear on the exact differences between the "self-hosted
engine" and the standalone Manager. I'll go re-read earlier responses to my
questions on that, as well as the glossary of sorts that Didi was so kind to write in your
earlier thread on the imageio issue.
4.4 all-in-one is still fully functional par the iso upload and
download, which i was using for backups.
if you were to go CentOS7+4.3 these features fully work no problem in
all-in-one.
the alternate to all-in-one would be to choose a different host when
adding to the standalone manager, or you can have hosted engine, where
the engine is a vm (dependent on some other stuff re: storage/ips)
Kind Regards,
Mike
