Attaching a physical DVD drive
Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I install OS in a VM from a physical DVD inserted in drive on host? Google tells me nothing. Thanks. Nikša
Hi Niksa, If you can make the DVD to be used as an ISO file and use it as part of an ISO Storage Domain and boot your VM from it Edit the Virtual Machine -> go to "boot options" -> mark "Attach CD" and pick the ISO you want to use when booting the VM. See http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/#Attach_an_IS... for more details Regards, Maor On Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 4:09 PM, Niksa Baldun <niksa.baldun@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Maor, thanks for the reply. So, to be clear, it is not possible to install from physical DVD drive? I have to copy it to hard drive and include it in storage domain? Regards, Nikša On 23 August 2016 at 15:24, Maor Lipchuk <mlipchuk@redhat.com> wrote:

Using the ISO Storage Domain is one way to solve this. You might also use glance or image uploader, but you still won't get away from the copy operation

I suspect you could do a host pass-through to the host DVD drive, but I don't think it makes sense. Y.

It is possible, but we don't have the logic to set boot order of host devices. It is therefore possible with a hook or by being lucky enough to have guest firmware probe the correct device.
