Ovirt storage domain ovirt-image-repository is unattached and can't use change CD to install windows on VM
8:41 a.m.
Good day,
Whenever i am trying to use the change CD to mount the ovirt tools iso so i can install
windows server or any windows it says "could not find ISO file collection".It
doesn't pick up the hdd that i have created in the windwos setup so i have to do the
whole ovirt tools mount and select the windows i want to insteall etc. It has been
working fine until a couple of days ago when we had power outages. I also noticed that the
storage domain,ovirt-image-repository is unattached... How do i go about fixing this
problem or where can i check logs. I have checked the permissions where the ISO's or
images are stored.

The guest tools iso needs to be on an iso/data domain.
Notice that if you are installing the VM from scratch it needs 2 things the
windows iso as a CD for the installation and the drivers floppy to be able
to access the storage on installation.

Not sure what do you mean here, if you installed as the above procedure can
you elaborate?

Hi
Software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7
Hi What i mean by it "doesn't pick up the HDD" is whenever i install a
windows instance. I get to the part of the windows install where you need
to select the disk to install it on... By this option i normally go to the
change cd option and select the ovirt tools and select the correct drivers
so it will pick up the HDD and i can continue with the installation. Now
that i cannot use the change cd option. i am not sure how i can install
windows without the option. I have downloaded the virtio-win-0.1.173_x86.vfd
and uploaded it through the GUI. I cannot select it if i go to the run once
option and tick the floopy disk it gives me nothing to select...

New subject: Ovirt storage domain ovirt-image-repository is unattached and can't use change CD to install windows on VM
I posted in the users list about how to populate the ISO so it actually functions as
intended.
This may be common knowledge so if it is redundant, apologies.
My ISO domain did not populate automatically but with some research I found out how to
utilize it and populate it.
If you have it in place with the correct permissions and security, you can manually
populate it using the api.
From the engine host at the command prompt:
# ovirt-iso-uploader list
This gives you the name of your iso domain. If it prompts for a passwd, it should the the
same as the admin@internal login.
The to upload files and populate it:
ovirt-iso-uploader -i ISO upload *.iso or *vfd for floppy images

This is what you should see if your images are uploaded and registered properly. Notice
the iso and vfd extensions. Vfd- virtual floppy drive. That’s the one with drivers for
windows and you need to load a driver in order for windows to see the disk.

Not sure if this has been answered or not.
Click on the unattached domain, go to datacenter and click on the datacenter. Find the
detached storage domain and click attach.
It should be fairly straightt forward as long as the storage is still available. One issue
I had was the nfs service wasn't running. Once I restarted it, everything came back
online.

Use the run once and in the boot section, chose the proper floppy driver image. If you
uploaded it to the ISO domain properly, once you check the box, you should see the choice
of which floppy to use.
The cdrom should be there as well. I loaded Windows 10 and Server 2016 both with no
issue.
You have to have the ISO domain populated and when you click on it in the GUI you should
see the images. If you don't see them, they are not uploaded and registered correctly.
