  • Upload the ISO 9660 image to the Ceph pool containing OS images named vm-os-images.

    • Just like base OS and app images, all locations and all their storage pools / Ceph instances need their own copy of the image in their respective vm-os-images pool.

  • Open Web UI admin section and navigate to Settings Platform Configuration. Locate the “Bootable ISO images” block and add the configuration entry for newly imported image, e.g.:

    { "uuid": "7c428a7e-61ff-4779-898a-b98472eb102d", "image_name": "finnix-250.rescue.iso", "is_installation_media": false, "description": "Finnix", "is_published": false }
