ISO images uploaded via oVirt Image I/O (Open Virtualization Manager -> Storage Domain -> Disks -> Uploads) can be used as a CD. The only significant disadvantage of Storage Domain with the Data function compared to ISO is that the images are downloaded over the network first to the host with the Engine, and then transferred to the final host with NFS. This loads the channels, the Engine itself. In the case of an ISO, the image can be manually uploaded directly to the destination NFS server. ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/ZNP4VXBO4GFWMHKP5A2TE44YS5OOXU6T/

Upload the iso to one of the data domains you use for your VMs. -Original Message- From: Mikhail Po Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2023 12:22 AM To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: Separate NFS Domain Storage for each Domain Storage For the initial installation of the operating system in a virtual machine, you need to mount an ISO image that is located in the storage domain of the NFS type (ISO function).

Anyway since 4.2 you could put iso files on your ordinary data domains, where performance access should be acceptable for any host. In 4.2.x there were some problems when swapping CDs in a running VM with iso being on block based data domains, but I think this had been fixed in 4.3 You can also put your iso in different data domains and use then the one that is better for you when you need to install an OS in a VM from iso Gianluca ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/4F4TTXUQJGPPNIIGU2DGU57EV66TZKB6/

[ovirt-users] Re: Separate NFS Domain Storage for each Domain Storage
I'm not sure what you mean by your "example", nor why you would need a dedicated ISO Storage Domain, when that practice was ended a while ago. I have several "datacenters", all using iSCSI and FC SAN storage, but I keep an NFS storage domain available to copy ISO's and templates, and to move VMs (actually their disks) between datacenters, as needed. -Original Message- From: Mikhail Po Sent: Monday, August 28, 2023 12:39 AM To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Separate NFS Domain Storage for each Domain Storage Is it possible in oVirt 4.3 for each Data Center to create a separate ISO Domain Storage, with NFS type, on one of the hosts belonging to this Data Center?
