Don't think you have to use the ISO Domain any longer.
You can upload to a Data Domain and when you highlight the VM in the
management GUI, select the three dots in the top left for extra options and
there is a change cd option. That option will allow for attaching an ISO
from a Data Domain.
That is what I recall when I was using oVirt a month or so ago.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Windows VirtIO drivers
Hi,
it seems the online documentation regarding the windows installation steps
is well out of date. Where is there any current documentation on where to
get the VirtIO drivers for a Windows installation?
From a bit of Googling, it seems that I need to 'yum install virtio-win' on
the engine VM and then copy the relevant .iso/.vfd to the ISO domain. Is
that correct?
Where is the documentation maintained and how do I open a bug on it?
Thanks, Shareef.

New subject: Windows VirtIO drivers
I've never had any of these issues... These are my usual windows steps.
1. boot fresh vm into windows ISO image installer.
2. when i get to disk screen (blank because i use VirtIO-SCSI), change
windows ISO to ovirt guest tools ISO
3. click load drivers, browse, load VirtIO-SCSI driver from CD, go back
to disk screen.
4. swap ovirt guest tools ISO for Windows ISO, click refresh, then
install on HDD.
5. when windows boots, swap ISO's again and run the ovirt guest tools
installer. Sometimes my mouse breaks at this point, but i can click
restart in the admin portal and after that all is well.

My experience is using the vfd file to load the drivers. You can install tools after the
completed install. Just the virtio scsi drivers are needed for the initial install.
Server CD and virtio-win-server.vfd I think is the name of it.

Don't think you have to use the ISO Domain any longer.
You can upload to a Data Domain and when you highlight the VM in the
management GUI, select the three dots in the top left for extra options and
there is a change cd option. That option will allow for attaching an ISO
from a Data Domain.
That is what I recall when I was using oVirt a month or so ago.

You have to copy the iso and vfd files to the ISO domain to make them
available to the vm's that need drivers.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Windows VirtIO drivers
Hi,
it seems the online documentation regarding the windows installation steps
is well out of date. Where is there any current documentation on where to
get the VirtIO drivers for a Windows installation?
From a bit of Googling, it seems that I need to 'yum install virtio-win' on
the engine VM and then copy the relevant .iso/.vfd to the ISO domain. Is
that correct?
Where is the documentation maintained and how do I open a bug on it?
Thanks, Shareef.
