[ovirt-users] Exclamation mark on Windows guests Ovirt 3.6.5

Thu May 12 13:41:36 UTC 2016

I was barking down the virtio-win effort to no avail
virtio-win-0.1.117.iso
virtio-win-0.1.102.iso
virtio-win-0.1.110.iso
virtio-win-0.1.96.iso

When I found the guest-tools-iso.  

yum -y install ovirt-guest-tools-iso

Installed:
  ovirt-guest-tools-iso.noarch 0:3.6.0-0.2_master.fc22

fc23 not available in CentOS 7 yet?

What was the previous version you had installed?
Note it’s not the correct one, latest is http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.6/rpm/el7/noarch/ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.6-3.fc23.noarch.rpm
