Sorry, I missed all these replies.  Thanks for the help.

I just noticed something funny in the Windows installer.  When you get to the point where it can't find any installation media, if you Load Driver, a popup appears with a Browse and OK/Cancel options.  I assumed that I should be browsing to the floppy here but if you do that, you get an error that no signed drivers can be found.  Instead, you just have to hit OK when the popup appears and that somehow finds the drivers.

I'm assuming that I will need to install the network driver once the installation has finished?

Ok. Personally, I like having an ISO repository, but I like the fact that's
it will be optional.
Thanks.

It does work that way.

I found that out as I was testing oVirt and had not created a separate ISO
Domain. I believe it was Strahil who pointed me in the right direction.

So if one does not have an ISO Domain, it is no longer required. Along with
the fact that ISO Domains are or in the process of being deprecated.

That may be true, but in the ISO domain, when you open virt viewer you can
change the cd very easily...maybe it works that way as well..

Don't think you have to use the ISO Domain any longer.

You can upload to a Data Domain and when you highlight the VM in the
management GUI, select the three dots in the top left for extra options and
there is a change cd option. That option will allow for attaching an ISO
from a Data Domain.

That is what I recall when I was using oVirt a month or so ago.

You have to copy the iso and vfd files to the ISO domain to make them
available to the vm's that need drivers.

Hi,

it seems the online documentation regarding the windows installation steps
is well out of date.  Where is there any current documentation on where to
get the VirtIO drivers for a Windows installation?

From a bit of Googling, it seems that I need to 'yum install virtio-win' on
the engine VM and then copy the relevant .iso/.vfd to the ISO domain.  Is
that correct?

Where is the documentation maintained and how do I open a bug on it?

Thanks, Shareef.
