Usually I add a small disk of type virtio and another NIC (also virtio).Then
if you install , you set the windows DVD as bootable and once you reach the
moment to select your disk , you have an option to search in a DVD for
drivers.Then you go to Admin Portal , select your VM and from the 3 dots (up
right, next to the "Create snapshot" use the "Change CD" to load the DVD iso
with the tools.
I think that the rpm "ovirt-guest-tools-iso" is providing that (but I don't
remember it).
Once you have the DVD loaded, just browse and install the drivers from it.When
you complete that, "Change CD" again to the Windows Install iso and select the
disk you want to install your Windows.

Anyone, please let me know. Really stuck at this point.
I am using Ovirt Manager 4.3 and while installing Windows VMs If I used disk
type as IDE, I can see the disks to install the OS but if I use virtIO-scsi for
disks the disk is not seen. So I attached floppy disk to VM, but it says no
drivers detected.
Can anyone let me know the best way to install Windows 2016?
Thanks

Hi Gal,
I have downloaded the virtio-win_x86.vfd and uploaded to ISO domain. Used Run
Once and attached the floppy drive, while looking for drivers in A drive it
gives below error:
I followed all the steps as per the guidelines shared in the document. Don’t
know what I am missing.
Thanks

Hi Gal,
Thank you so much for replying, can you please a steps to do that. Right now
what I am doing is:
- Installed Windows 2016 using IDE interface, but performance is very bad
and it’ really hard to install any further .exe into it.
I never used the IDE interface so I can't say from personal experience, but I
don't think that should be the behavior, please open a bug on that so that we
can examin.

- Other option I see attaching the floppy drive when we use “Run Once”, but
problem is when pointing to floppy drive while loading drivers. It says no
drivers detected.
Using Run Once is the preferred option, see
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/chap-installing_windows_virtual_machines
Make sure that you attach the latest virtio-win vdf (the link I sent earlier
should be ok) and select the relevant drivers, if there is a problem then
please open a bug on virtio-win project and send me the url so I will track it,
thanks.
Please share let me know the best way to perform this action as need to deliver
the Ovirt infra to one of my customer and really stuck on this driver
installation.
Appreciate your quick response.!!

HI Vijay,
There a package on fedora:
virtio-win-0.1.173-2
which contains an MSI installer for the drivers and the ovirt agent (which is
disabled on a normal installation, so please enable it when you install).
This installer should replace the ovirt-wgt that we have currently on the next
versions,
and it is new, so please give us feedback once you used it.
P.S
the installer installs the drivers normally so if the regular drivers from
virtio-win fail to install, then using the installer will not change much
probably, and it means that you have a deeper problem.
In case the installation fails then please generate logs but running the
installer through cmd.exe "msiexec /i {installer} /l*v {path to log}"
(https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-log.html)
and open a bug/reply here and I will try and help
Thanks
