### problem
Issue No1:
In case of failed deployments there are unused storage repositories left behind.
`example:
**xe vdi-list uuid=f16e0133-2074-49af-a393-1bb9fa007fb5**

As you see above just one storage repository is being used for the ISO file.
This has no functional impact but leaves something unused behind.
Issue No 2:
Within a storage repository which name is specified to one particular VM you can see all the iso files from all the other VMs since they are located in the same secondary storage. Why not have one general storage repository like "VM-CONFIGDRIVE-ISO" to avoid both issues?
### versions
ACS: 4.20.1
XCP-ng: 8.2
### The steps to reproduce the bug
1. Build a couple of VMs where you have limited resources available on the hypervisors.
2.
3. The hypervisor still has been selected for deployments but failed from hypervisor side
4. Several attempts have happened
```
cat /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log | grep job-117 | grep 'VM start attempt'
2025-10-28 14:22:19,361 DEBUG [c.c.v.ClusteredVirtualMachineManagerImpl] (Work-Job-Executor-42:[ctx-a1bf013f, job-117/job-118, ctx-520420a9]) (logid:67fb25c7) VM start attempt #1
2025-10-28 14:22:24,301 DEBUG [c.c.v.ClusteredVirtualMachineManagerImpl] (Work-Job-Executor-42:[ctx-a1bf013f, job-117/job-118, ctx-520420a9]) (logid:67fb25c7) VM start attempt #2
2025-10-28 14:22:25,371 DEBUG [c.c.v.ClusteredVirtualMachineManagerImpl] (Work-Job-Executor-43:[ctx-34843ad3, job-117/job-119, ctx-605dae51]) (logid:67fb25c7) VM start attempt #1
2025-10-28 14:22:28,159 DEBUG [c.c.v.ClusteredVirtualMachineManagerImpl] (Work-Job-Executor-43:[ctx-34843ad3, job-117/job-119, ctx-605dae51]) (logid:67fb25c7) VM start attempt #2
```
5. For each attempt a storage repository has been created. Every time an ISO file as well. On failed attempt the ISO file has been removed but the storage repository not.
6. Once the VM finally got deployed you'll end up with multiple storage repositories, used and unused once with the same name.
### What to do about it?
Option 1: Besides removing the ISO file do also remove the storage repository on failed deployments.
Option 2: Use one general storage repository for all ISO files.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza reproduciendo los reintentos de despliegue fallidos descritos para ACS 4.20.1 con XCP-ng 8.2, utilizando los intentos de inicio de VM de management-server.log y la salida de xe sr-list/xe vdi-list. Compara la limpieza después de cada intento fallido y determina si la implementación debe eliminar el repositorio de almacenamiento no utilizado o compartir un repositorio para las ISO de config-drive. Se considera terminado cuando los intentos fallidos no dejan repositorios sin utilizar y los despliegues exitosos conservan su acceso a las ISO.
