Hello. I currently have oVirt 3.4.x set up. A colleague mentioned that he was having an issue where booting a VM with an attached iso and installing via cd/dvd does not allow the contents of the 'drive' to eject after the install. Sure enough, I have tested this myself and observed the same behaviour. Installing 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). A suggestion was made that VMware emulates a laptop style optical drive that once the disk ejects the system cannot close the drive bay upon reboot - this is a manual operation. Does oVirt emulate a destop style drive where even if the disk is ejected, when a reboot occurs the drive will close?
The 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 and the installs process starts again. An infinite loop effectively.
I'm told this isn't an issue with an KVM/Qemu VM under virt-manager.
Any suggestions as to how to solve this? I should point out that I cannot simply extract files and boot via PXE as this process is supposed to be testing an install process via generated media.
Thanks.
there is an open RFE for detecting the reboot and eject the cd in run once. until that, what i do is: (assuming the HD doesn't have anything bootable on it) edit the vm, select in 'boot options': first device- hard disk, second device-CD and select the CD file you want to use. start the vm regularly (not run once)

Does this work for you? In 3.5rc1, I have the following issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1131018 Description of problem: Installing a VM with the Second Boot device CDROM. After installation, I choose reboot in the VM and the installer of the CDROM appears again even though I have the HDD as first boot device. When I power down the VM, don't change anything, and power it up again. It does start from the local HDD Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae --------------040401080501030704070407 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <br> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 08/20/2014 11:21 AM, Omer Frenkel wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:1033150319.34823323.1408526469937.JavaMail.zimbra@redhat.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> ----- Original Message ----- </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">From: "Paul Jansen" <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:vlaero@yahoo.com.au"><vlaero@yahoo.com.au></a> To: "users" <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:users@ovirt.org"><users@ovirt.org></a> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 2:25:41 PM Subject: [ovirt-users] vm install via iso - optical drive eject behaviour?

ok found the issue, there is a bug in add disk that cause the boot order to be wrong (order is calculated before the disk is added). looks like this affects vms created from blank (or other diskless) template and the disk is added afterwards while this is fixed, a workaround is to first create the vm and the disk, and only after that, edit the vm and choose the wanted boot options, this will cause the boot order to be re-calculated, taking into account also the disk. if your vm already created, you can edit the boot order to something and then return it to what you like.
