Custom ISO / Remote URL ISO Support
Hi,
Currently, customers need to ask the providers to mount an ISO. It would be useful to allow the customers to mount an ISO from an URL. Not that hard to implement, and saves a bunch of hours.

Hi Miguel,
You need a higher version of libvirt/qemu to support disk type='network' in the guest XML config than I believe el6 ships with.
This is a preferred method as it stays in line with existing standards.
I will put it through as something to test and update you on.

Can't edit my post, yeah, curl is for sure needed, but you could force it to be installed in the next SolusVM update. I don't think this would take you too long to develop, and this is a major function that'd remove a lot of tickets from our support desks.

Hi @asmith,
I believe there's certainly a way to do it. If you can load custom ISOs on el6, it should work to download a file temporarily and change the live config to load it. Could you please explain the qemu/libvirt issues you're referring loading an ISO?
Cheers

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for the suggestion, however older versions of qemu/libvirt have issues with this or versions not compiled with curl so it may only be viable for el7+ but it is a good suggestion.
Thanks.
