Kaushal,


"_Corporate wants you to find the difference_"

[--location 
]/var/lib/libvirt/isos/ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso


# ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/isos/
/var/lib/libvirt/isos/[-rw-r--r--. 1 qemu qemu 1331691520 Feb 23
 2022 ]ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso


"_They are the same_"


I used virt-manager more than the command line, so please excuse me as
I believe my suggestion below is wrong. 



What happens if you use "virsh vol-list isos"  (assuming your storage
pool that contains ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso is called
isos).



I would expect something like:


# virsh vol-list isos
ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso              
/var/lib/libvirt/isos/ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso



_However when I did a bit of searching on the Internet, I found the
following which sounds more like your issue._


https://askubuntu.com/questions/789358/virt-install-using-location-with-iso-image-no-longer-working


--location
'/path_to_isos/CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-2003.iso',initrd=isolinux/initrd.img,kernel=isolinux/vmlinuz
\

_The key here is the additional parameters on the location specifying_
vmlinuz as kernel and initrd.img. To find the path within the iso I've
use it the isoinfo command as follows:

$ isoinfo -J -i '/path_to_isos/CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-2003.iso' -l


https://www.wpdiaries.com/ubuntu-on-kvm/



Run in the terminal:
...
--location
/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd
\
...
where
...
--location – path to the local .iso file (or a distro install URL).
Also, we set kernel and initrd here (we got values for them in section
1).




George.

Any clue and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
