Suggestion: Addition of a one-off PXE boot option in the "Edit Virtual Machine > Boot Options" section

My current usage of oVirt requires me to switch the boot priorities for virtual machines from hard disk to pxe fairly often. It would be nice to see an option added in that would set a one-off pxe boot for virtual machines, reverting back to the original boot priorities after restart. This would save some time when dealing with multiple machines, by eliminating the need to switch them to pxe and then back to their previous boot options in the middle of their boot process.

Have you tried the 'run once' option? On Sat, Sep 29, 2018, 5:05 PM Zach Dzielinski, <zachdzielinski@gmail.com> wrote:

As suggested may be run once will suit, there's a checkbox at the bottom of the option panel to roll-back options after reboot. On Sat, 29 Sep 2018 at 22:06, Zach Dzielinski <zachdzielinski@gmail.com> wrote:
