Either allow 2 CD-ROM's or selectable *.vfd Floppy Images from Storage via Run Once other than from deprcated ISO-Storage
Hello, when Installing Windows VM's on Ovirt we need either 2 CD-ROM's attached as ISO Files (Installer ISO and Virtio-Win-ISO) to be able to install to Virtio-(SCSI)-Disks. In Ovirt 4.3.4 it is not possible to attach 2 CD-ROM's to a VM. So we have to use Floppy Images (virtio-win-*.vfd) attached to install drivers within Installer. We need to use "Run Once" to attach flopppy disks. There are only *.vfd selectable which are located on ISO-Storage.Domain, which will be deprecated now or then. -> We won't be able to install Windows VM's from unmodified ISO Installer-CD's without ISO Storage Domain or making *.vfd Files selectable via "Run Once" When will that be available... ?

Ralf, I always prefer to use https://www.ntlite.com/ to prepare my Windows ISO & I can "inject" all the needed virtio drivers. On Aug 12 2019, at 3:58 am, Ralf Schenk <rs@databay.de> wrote:

You do not need two CDROMs, you need only one, and when you need to load the drivers, simply change, load and change again On Mon, Aug 12, 2019 at 6:59 AM Ralf Schenk <rs@databay.de> wrote:

Ralf, you can change CD on the Load Drivers section. Change for the oVirt Tools Disc, load the drivers and then change back to Windows. It’s a bad workflow, I know. But it’s how I’m doing here. I agree that the Windows Tools is not really friendly with oVirt.

go ahead and complain to Microsoft that they don’t include virtio drivers in their installation images. Without that we can’t really do much…they’re just not there out of the box. Thanks, michal
