### problem
Issue No1:
In case of failed deployments there are unused storage repositories left behind.
`example:

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.

Inizia riproducendo i tentativi di deployment falliti descritti per ACS 4.20.1 con XCP-ng 8.2, utilizzando i tentativi di avvio della VM riportati in management-server.log e l’output di xe sr-list/xe vdi-list. Confronta la pulizia dopo ogni tentativo fallito e determina se l’implementazione debba rimuovere il repository di storage inutilizzato o condividere un repository per le ISO di config-drive. Il lavoro è completato quando i tentativi falliti non lasciano repository inutilizzati e i deployment riusciti mantengono l’accesso alle ISO.
