Description Liran Rotenberg 2020-02-05 09:24:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
Until now, we used a floppy disk in order to have the drivers attached when installing a new VM with windows OS.
The other way is when installing, change the CD to virtio drivers, install them, change back to the OS installation CD and continue.

The latter can be used, but the floppy is dropped, making it unfriendly to users.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VM wish a virtual disk connected with VirtIO.
2. Install the OS.

Actual results:
The disk won't be recognized because the drivers are not installed, and the only way to do so at the moment is changing disks while installing.

Expected results:
The user won't need to change disks while installing, he would just need to install the driver and continue.

This bug is targeting 4.4.2 but is already in modified.
can this be re-targeted to 4.4.0 and moved to QE?
Comment 3 Beni Pelled 2020-04-20 14:43:50 UTC 
Verified with:
- RHV 4.4.0-0.33.master.el8ev
- libvirt-6.0.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6257+0d066c28.x86_64

Verification steps:
1. Create a VM with windows as OS type and a VirtIO-SCSI disk.
2. Run once with CD-ROM attached (OS ISO) and select the 'Attach Windows guest tools CD' checkbox (screenshot attached)
3. Once you reach the device-location window, choose the 'Load driver' and navigate to the virtio-win path (screenshot attached)

Result:
- The VirtIO disk driver loaded successfully and installation finished successfully as well.
