Hello.=0AI currently have oVirt 3.4.x set up.=0AA colleague mentioned that =
he was having an issue where booting a VM with an attached iso and installi=
ng via cd/dvd does not allow the contents of the 'drive' to eject after the=
install.=A0 Sure enough, I have tested this myself and observed the same b=
ehaviour.=0A=0AInstalling an EL/fedora iso image with a kickstart that has =
a 'reboot --eject' line in will eject the 'drive' after the installing
when=
doing the exact same thing on VMware ESXi (and 'real' hardware).=0A=0AA su=
ggestion was made that VMware emulates a laptop style optical drive that on=
ce the disk ejects the system cannot close the drive bay upon reboot - this=
is a manual operation.=0ADoes oVirt emulate a destop style drive where eve=
n if the disk is ejected, when a reboot occurs the drive will close?=0A=0AT=
he long an short of this that even though the 'reboot --eject' option is in=
the kickstart, the iso image seems be be reattached when the VM reboots an=
d the installs process starts again.=A0 An infinite loop effectively.=0A=0A=
I'm told this isn't an issue with an KVM/Qemu VM under virt-manager.=0A=0AA=
ny suggestions as to how to solve this?=0AI should point out that I cannot =
