Ever since I deployed oVirt a couple months ago, I've been unable to boot any VMs from
a RHEL ISO.
Ubuntu works fine, as does CentOS.
I've tried multiple RHEL 8 ISOs on multiple VMs.
I've destroyed and re-uploaded the ISOs, and I've also destroyed and re-created
the VMs.
Every time I try to boot a VM to a RHEL 8 ISO, the console just tells me that "No
boot device" was found.
Can anyone think of any reason why other ISOs would work, when RHEL ISOs do not work? How
can I troubleshoot this further?
I really need to get a server up and running with Podman.

There should be no reason not to work.Did you select the ISO as bootable device ?
Maybe you can provide steps how you do it?
What is your oVirt version ?

I uploaded the RHEL ISOs the same way I uploaded the Ubuntu ISOs:
Navigate to Storage -> Disks and click Upload (so using the wizard).
Once the ISOs are in place, I've attached them to VMs the same way I've attached
Ubuntu ISOs: Select the Virtual Machine, click Edit, go to Boot Options, click the
checkbox beside "Attach CD" and change the First Device to CD-ROM.
The oVirt Manager is 4.4.6, but the cluster compatibility is stuck at 4.4.5 right now.
This particular problem has been ongoing, though, since before I attempted to upgrade
everything to 4.4.6.

More details here:
I just tested this (new) VM now on a CentOS 7 ISO.
That worked perfectly fine.
But as soon as I tried to attach the RHEL 8 Boot ISO, it did not work.
The specific error I'm seeing is:
Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0095).

I finally got this to work.
I believe that my issue was that when I thought I had uploaded the ISO, the ISO wasn't
actually being uploaded successfully.
I tried to upload various ISOs to different Storage Domains, and eventually noticed that
in a couple of cases, I would see a status bar that slowly incremented over time
indicating the percentage of the upload complete - whereas before, there would be no
status bar, and the oVirt Manager would indicate that the ISO had just been uploaded
completely.
I was able to "replicate" this status bar with the RHEL ISO, and now my VM is
booting to that ISO fine.
Problem resolved.

But you got no actual error anywhere? I'd consider this a bug. Would you
like to report one in bugzilla? Thanks!
Some points to test/include in your report:
Do you use an external certificate for https?
If so, did you follow the documented procedure to do this? Perhaps you can
tell the exact steps you took?
I'd still expect some error - so there are perhaps (at least) two separate
issues here.

I was able to "replicate" this status bar with the RHEL ISO, and now my VM

Perhaps you can tell what you did differently for this?
Thanks for the report.

As far as I remember a feature was introduced that allows the end-user to verify the disk
checksum after an upload.
Most probably it's not integrated in the WEB UI, but the API should have it.

yes, definitely a bug. If you managed to reproduce and file a bug for it,
besides standard logs (engine and vdsm logs), please provide also ovirt-
imageio log (from engine as well as from host), which can be found in /var/
log/ovirt-imageio/daemon.log
Thanks!

correct, here are examples/script how to compute checksum for image and uploaded disk:

Correct, I didn't see any errors.
I seem to recall this happening to me a couple months ago or so when I was first setting
up the environment as well.
I'll spend some time (it may not be until this weekend) trying to reproduce the error,
and collecting some logs.
No, I do not use an external certificate.
(And I did / do use the "Test Connection" button)
Which logs would be helpful?
