We are using ovirt 3.5 version and trying to change the boot device to CD ROM and boot from it using the ovirt api. I am able to change the boot order but i am unable to boot the vm from the CDROM using api. But i am able to do the same from the ovirt panel. The following are the steps that i follow

1. Shut down the vm 2. Attach the iso image 3. Start the vm in run once mode using api with the following xml

" <action><vm><os><boot dev='cdrom'/></os></vm></action>"

Could you please check if any issues with this ? Also, I am able to view the attached image from the ovirt panel.

And output from curl/wget (whatever you use) does show what? j.
