How to download and access ISO image Base of Windows OS

Hello

I'm new to vmware. I started building a Virtual Appliance using Studio of VM. It requires an ISO image of the Base OS of Windows to be accessible from the virtual appliance VM Studio.

To get this downloaded ISO, I used vSphere Client and traveled the "data store" in the store of the Studio VM data, created a directory called vmiso and downloaded the Windows 2008 ISO server to this directory. Now, how is this directory accessible from the console of Ubuntu? What is the path of the URL of this ISO file?

Thank you.

1. you can copy Windows 2008 ISO server in VMware Studio using winscp.exe or Filezilla.exe.

2. you can copy the ISO ESX in VMware Studio Server using the scp command.

SCP Windows.iso root@VMwareStudioIP:/opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO/

This is the path in VMware Studio, where you suppose to copy the ISO file.

/ opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO /.

AlterNet is, if you have NFS server in your environment, and then copy the ISO in Windows 2008 Server to the NFS server and mount the server NFS VMware Studio and softlink ISO as follows. This way you can save the space in the Studio.

  1. mkdir/ISO-Server.

  2. Mount-t nfs IPNFSServer: / ISO_SERVER/ISO-Server.

  3. / opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO CD.

  4. ln s/ISO-Server/Windows.iso.

After that, while building the WILL, VMware Studio will be pick-up ISO automatically from this path.
