I saw notes about oVirt 4.4 may no longer support ISO images... but there are times like now I need to build based on specific ISO images.

I tried to do a cycle to create an image file 8GB then do dd if=blah.iso of=/<random disk ID image file name>

Created a new vm with this as boot disk and it fails to boot... so.. back to "create volume for iso images"

But when I do that I get error

New Domain -> "Domain function" =iso Storage type = glusterFs

Use Managed Gluster volume -> Select already working gluster file space "thor.penguinpages.local:/iso

VFS Type: glusterfs

mount options: backup-volfile-servers=odin.penguinpages.local:medusa.penguinpages.local

Error:

Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage Connection. Performance o_direct option is not enabled for storage domain.

Questions:

1) Why did the image and dd of iso to boot disk not work?

2) Any ideas about create of iso mount volume?
