Openstack with Virt-Manager
Raw
README.md

General

If you have an issue while deploying an ISO to Openstack (maybe need some drive like VirtIO on Windows ISO, etc) you can use 3rd party KVM Management like virt-manager.

Case

We failed to deploy an Windows Server directly from ISO, disk not detected while first setup on Openstack & it's same when we try to deploy RHEL & Ubuntu desktop. We need to try attach the ISO from CDROM on Console, but on openstack it not supported.

Virt-manager

Virt-manager are powerfull tools to contact the KVM virtualization to organize your Instance deployment like Ordering your bootable, attach CDROM, change Protocol for Storage, CDROM to SATA/ISCSI/etc.

Unfortunately

Unfortunately virt-manager just running on UNIX (Ubuntu/RHEL/etc), so in my case i just deployed the virt-manager on VM on top Openstack then i remote the GUI from X11 Forwarding.

Installation

apt install -y virt-manager
virt-manager

After you successfully install the virt-manager, you can try to integrate it to your KVM Nodes. You can integrate it with SSH Credentials.
