Indeed



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.





I have to copy it to hard drive and include it in storage domain?



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

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_ISO_domain for more details

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?
