ISO images can be added by administrators to allow more recovery options or to allow platform users to install an OS from “live” bootable images.

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 }
Field | Description |
|---|---|
uuid | A unique identifier for the image. Any UUID will do, as long as there are no duplicates. |
image_name | The name of the image in the RBD (without the pool specifier). |
is_installation_media | Set this to true if the media can be used to install an operating system. This is a reserved field for future use. |
description | This is displayed in the UI when the image is listed. |
is_published | If set to true, the image is visible to all platform users. Otherwise, the image will be only listed to administrative users. |
