How to mount an ISO file

Guys,

I'm pretty new on the VMWare environment so apologizes in advance for what might seem basic questions.

I want to mount an ISO of Windows 2008 file in the client VSphere 4.1.

Now when I Googled what he tells me to open a command prompt at the host and use the Assembly tool.

First question is I see a list of virtual machines, built by a previous contractor who took the site for reasons that I will not.

When I do a right click of the mouse I have a console open for each virtual machine, but what I want to do is mount an ISO file of windows 2008, so I can build a new virtual machine.

I see a name and an icon called VMCluster and under that 3 servers then under all virtual machines.

What I see is an option to go to the command line to mount the ISO file.

Can anyone please tellme how to proceed?

Thank you

Fred

Do you mean you want to mount the ISO in a virtual machine on a host?

If so, there are several ways to do so.

Best way to demonstrate would be: right click on the virtual machine, select "Open Console" and then in the top bar look for the icon that appears to be a CD. Click on this icon, select the CD/DVD drive and select "connect to the ISO image on the local disk.

A picture is attached below to demonstrate.

    ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below

    (1) install VCLI
    (2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
    (3) use vihostupdate to install the driver
    vihostupdate-i b - servername
    He will ask for username and password of your host.

  • How to make an ISO file Flash Player, instead of burning a DVD?

    I know how to make a DVD ISO file, install windows 10 preview, using Imgburn.

    But, how do an ISO file flash drive to install Windows 10 preview? How IMgburn can work for that? ImgBurn just do the conversion and then simply write to the flash drive.

    I can't believe you can "burn" a flash drive. (Someone correct me on this)

    Hi DanoVista,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    With the ISO downloaded completely, simply transfer it to a USB flash drive. To burn an ISO to a USB stick, download Windows 7 USB/DVD tool is probably still your best bet.

    If you encounter a problem during the creation of bootable flash drive, you can use your favorite search engine for any utility that allows to format and create bootable USB flash drives.

  • How to mount and ISO image a guest VM cd Drive using the command line?

    I have been googled around and couldn't find no clear solution.  Then this possibly done with vSphere PowerCLI or CLI?

    PowerCLI, this can be done with a host device:

    Get - VM | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - HostDevice "/ dev/scd0 '-connected: $false - confirm: $false

    Yes, do you it with the cmdlet Set-Cddrive. Like this for example

    Get-VM-name | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - v - IsoPath - confirm: $false

    Don't forget the vacuum between the data store and the ISO-file-path!

    You could also do a post similar to the powercli community, but this should answer to your qeustion I think.  The aboce link tell you how the ISO

  • How to find the iso file mapping

    Hi team,

    I need to remove an iso of the database file, but I'm not able to remove the iso because it is mapped to a VM. I don't want to go and check each machine in the ESX. Because I need to perform the same type of operations on another ESX Server. So check each machine for mapping is so difficult. So is there another way we can find iso is mapped to all the machines in ESX.

    Thank you

    Sisi.

    There are several possible methods for this archive. One of the easiest is to use RVTools (http://www.robware.net/).

  • Mount an .iso that is stored IN the virtual machine.

    Briefing Note: deploy us thin client on several campuses. Create us the model, deploy in each site, and then rebuild each pool. We now need to mount an image file .iso for one of the required programs. The .iso image file cannot be mounted with the software of in the virtual environment, because it uses a software of PortectDISC. We have the right number of drives, but customers have no disk drives.

    Problem: Since deploying the model, we must include the file .iso with her image. Normally, you would ride a .iso manually. However, load the file on each remote server .iso image and enter in each of hundreds of machines virtual one at a time to set the .iso way are not possible. Mount the .iso image file is our only option. Is there a way to store the .iso image file in the hard disk of the virtual machine and the virtual machine settings to rise from this point .iso? Or is it possible to include the image .iso with the model file when we deploy it is with each virtual machine and the path in the settings is already pointing to it?

    We tried to put the file .iso image on a store of data on one of our ESX servers, and then modified the model gold on this machine to point to the .iso image file. We reconstructed the pool, and the image .iso file mounted correctly. The problem with that is that we have 20 + machines trying to access the same file at the same time. Let the first few machines work, but the rest said it had disc read errors. So, we want to each machine to have its own .iso.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I have to add a warning that I use not models, but I don't think it is very relevant to my answer.

    @wila: well, I had thought about it, but when deploy us the image, it will automatically change the path to the file? For example, if we note the virtual drive to mount the .iso file to "\vm_template\cd.iso", then deploy, each of the virtual machines will not have this same path in their settings? Then they will all point to '\vm_template\cd.iso' instead of their own institution ' "\vm_##\cd.iso? '" If so, this would require we go each of hundreds of machines and set up manually every time that we deploy a model.

    If you do not add a path, then the iso that the virtual machine will try to open will be local to the virtual machine. You can simply do this by copying the vm to the path of your virtual machine, for example "[storage1] \vm_template" and affecting the CD this specific path.

    As is the same way, you can wait for the vSphere client is smart enough, it does not remove the path for drives in such a case, but not for CD...

    To use the vSphere Client to create the bases so far

    What I just did, go in the vmx file, deleted information path of superfluous and only left the name of the iso file, and all the true startConnected, not the virtual machine to make sure that my edit is OK, again registered the VM in the vSphere client, then started my VM and mounted the cdrom without any problem whatsoever.

    So - as expected - it works fine the iso file is local to the virtual machine and the local path comes first unless you assign specifically it different in the vmx file.
