Description Alfredo Moralejo 2011-11-25 14:46:20 UTC
Description of problem:

Use case:

1. User has a iso image stored in local workstation.
2. User is assigned with User Role to a RHEV VM configured with spice console. 
2. User connects to VM via UserPortal.
3. User wants to mount the local iso file to the VM in two scenarios:
    - At boot time so that the user can use the iso image to install the OS.
    - After guest is up and running.

The same use case may apply to a physical CD in the local workstation instead of a iso image. However, the main pain for this customer is booting from local iso images as the users have no rights to upload iso files to the ISO Storage Domain.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always

Actual results:

User can only mount iso files stored in ISO Storage Domain and they do not have access to upload iso files to the Storage Domain.

Expected results:

User should be able to map a iso file to a VM without asking a RHEV administrator to upload it to the ISO Storage Domain. 

Additional info:

This feature has been requested by users mainly as they have been using it in VMware since version 3.5.

This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

Comment 30 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-03-26 10:14:39 UTC
4.3.1 has been release a while ago as RHV 4.3 Beta 2, re-targeting to 4.3.3 for re-evaluation
