Hi Cole,
Sorry to disturb you. Firstly,thanks for your continuously help.
I am not sure how to enter a local ISO path into the install URL
field in the installation method "Network install(HTTP,FTP or NFS)" url
to disk.
I have tried to set up a http server in the s390x ,but find that
the "localhost" is x86 which running virt-manager. Also , I try the
"file:///var/lib/libvirt/images/**.iso", it don't find the iso image.
So if you can provide*some examples of "local iso host"* ,it will
be really better.
Big Thanks~
Best Regards,
Kevin

Hi Cole & all,
There is a question just confusing me.
When I use virt-install , set the --location parameter like this :
--location /tmp/**.iso, virt-install can search the iso and get the tree.info
, kernel.img and initrd.img. But when I replace the parameter "--location "
with the "--cdrom", it will not be able to search the iso for kernel.img and
initrd.img ,I need to specify the kernel and initrd(Maybe inn the arch ppc64le
and s390x).
But when I use virt-manager, choose the cdrom I can not get the
functions just like "--location". So does the virt-manager support the
functions just like "--location" do? I see that by using network installation
, virt-manager will search for tree.info, how to use it to get a local iso
treeinfo?
My descriptions may not be very clear . So feel free to let me know if
you have any question.
The difference between --location $ISO and --cdrom $ISO are kinda subtle:
--cdrom $ISO just passes the $ISO as a cdrom device to the guest
--location $ISO tries to mount the $ISO locally, and treat that local path
like a --location $URL install, pulling out the kernel/initrd. This allows
passing in custom kernel args, but is kinda limited since you need root access
to mount the iso
You can actually trigger this with virt-manager by entering a local ISO path
into the install URL field
