Dear list, I am new in ovirt, and I have a problem, which I can’t solve with google. I am not able to install windows guests, because they can’t find they disk. I have already many linux guests running, so generally everything is working fine. I try with virtio-scsi disks. What I already tried: - While the installation process I changed the disk to the virtio driver disk (downloaded from fedora project), I try to load scsi drivers, and windows still can’t find the disk - I tried with virtio floppy (run once) but the floppy is not visible in windows select menu - I added the drivers to windows installer wim, but disks still not visible - I tried to add ide drive, but it is not visible either (I have disabled virtio scsi under resource allocation too, without luck) - tried windows 7 and 2016 My nodes are: oVirt Node 4.2.1.1 I use local disks but via nfs, so i share the local disk via nfs. Do you have any idea what could I try. Any clue are welcome, because I’m stuck… Thank you in advance! Regards!
you have to mount the CD drive with the virtuio drivers during the setup process. get to the screen to select disks. do a "change cd" and mount the virtio ISO. then you have to go "have disk" in setup and add the drivers. Once the drivers are installed, you have to refresh the list before it will show the disks. once the disk is showing up then you do a change CD again back to the installation .iso.

Dear Vincent, Thank you for the quick support. Yes, i have connected the driver cd, installed the drivers, but the disk is still not visible for windows. Really strange is, that it doesn't matter, if I use scsi, or IDE (which should work natively), nothing is visible in windows... :( So i have no clue what is the problem. I have many virtual windows guests in my other virtual platform (kvm) and there is everything working fine.

Couple things... 1.). You created a drive correct? Just wanted to make sure you did add a drive. 2.) Once you get to that window in the windows setup to choose your install drive you need to go to your oVirt console and select "Change Disk" and change it to the virtio iso that contains drivers. Once you do this you need to "browse" and find the correct driver. The drive won't show until you load the correct driver. After you do this the drive shows. Select the drive and go back into the oVirt console and hit "Change Disk" and choose the windows iso again and continue https://youtu.be/Pasz-lv3gTY Check out about 26:00 minutes.

Dear Stewart, sorry, I was like a normal user... I don't read the error message. The message looks like: https://images.drivereasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/img_5751005d9e1c2.p... so that means, not the hdd is missing, the cd / dvd drive is missing. So I have booted up the VM with mini windows xp, and i saw, that the IDE driver is present, and if the scsi driver would be loaded, i thing the scsi driver would be present too. So the problem from installer is not, the missing hdd, the problem is some other hardware driver. I have tried, to add ALL drivers directory to directory from the virtio cd/iso, but the message is the same. So it seems like there would be some emulated hardware, what is not on the virtio cd. What I have tried, I deleted the NIC, and every "extra" hardware component, that is not neccessary. The error is the same. Do you have an idea, wich virtual hardware could cause the problem? Thanks!

Dear all, thank you for the great support. I think that the iso installer was corrupted. I uploaded the iso again, and now it is working fine!

2.) Once you get to that window in the windows setup to choose your install drive you need to go to your oVirt console and select "Change Disk" and change it to the virtio iso that contains drivers.
