  Hi friend

  How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console?

  I run the sub command and it failed.

  # mount o loop-t iso9660 vmware-esx-drivers-net-be2net_400.2.102.440.0-1vmw.2.17.249663.292682.iso / free

  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.

• Allowing non-root users to mount the ISO images in VSphere

  Hello!

  I'm running ESXi 5 on a root server and want my users to be able to mount a local data store ISO images in their respective VMs.

  I created a role to allow them to start/stop/restart etc their VM, that works well. But I am confused as what permissions, I need to define where to allow them to browse and set an ISO for their virtual CD drives. The authorization 'Browse the data store', set for the virtual machine and the server, doesn't really help.

  All ideas are welcome!

  Sorry for the late reply,

  I can choose an ISO local data store and create a new virtual machine with the following privileges on a stand-alone ESXi 5:

  Data store > allocate space

  Data store > Browse Datastore

  Home > operations > reconfigure virtual computer

  Resources > assign virtual machine to the list of resources

  Virtual machine > all (but this could / should be more restrictive)

• How to mount an ISO image with Windows 8?

  I use Windows 8 Pro x 64.

  How can I mount a file ISO in WIndows 8?
  I right click on the ISO file and the menu that opens does not give me an option of editing.  It says at the top of the game menu.  There is no an option of editing anywhere in the menu.  I looked into the open with option, but the Assembly isn't here either.

  Have you tried the following?

  Right click on a .iso file > properties > click "Edit" under the "Général" tab > click on "Windows Explorer" > OK

• 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

• I lost my cd, is it ok if I download an iso image and use my OWN windows xp pro key?

  I really need help on this bad!

• 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.

• Windows 8 Pro not mounting ISO image

  I have problems of mounting iso images of Windows 8 for a few days now. I looked at the wire

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-performance/ISO-image-mounting-problems-under-Windows-8-Pro/cf9123c1-c8fa-4A01-a8e7-925fdb68d0b1
  but the solution it does not solve my problem. When I run the SFC scan it stops at 37% and said it cannot continue, without any other explanation. I run 3 times and it's always the same.
  I even tried to do a refresh of the system, and when I do this I get an error. He reads
  systemreset.exe - incorrect Image
  C:\Windows\system32\VirtDisk.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. blah blah. 0xc0000020 error status.
  Other forums have suggested to install other programs that can mount iso images. However, I do not think that should I need to do that if the BONE is supposed to support iso editing on its own.
  Thanks in advance

  just copy the file to another folder and rename... voila...

• Mount ISO in VMware ESX

  Hi all

  As I'm newly recruited and I learn that I will as well.

  This is our vmware network.

  Physical server: 3 x server HP (ESX 1, 2, 3) and they are clustering

  There are about 18 people that are shared to the above cluster resources.

  There are 3 stores.

  I was wondering how to load ISOs on the physical storage so that we don't have to use CD/DVD-ROM.

  If you could tell me the steps or how-to links. It would be great

  Thank you

  You can do this easily using the data store Navigator. Just use the browser of data store to create a folder (for example ISO-Repository) on one of your data warehouses and download the ISO images.

• 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.

• How to read the ISO images in media center window

  I have my DVD ISO images, but when I go to play them in Windows media center I get a message:
  "There is no drawn image detected on your system capable of mounting disc image."
  What Miss me?

  ISO files are not audio/video files, they are the image of a CD or DVD that contains files.

  You can burn the ISO on a CD/DVD to access the files, use WinRAR (can view most of the ISO files) or mount the ISO.
  This is a free software that is able to mount the ISO:

• ISO image installation problems under Windows 8 Pro

  Whenever I try to mount the ISO with the integrated installation of Windows 8 Pro it returns "could not mount file" 'Sorry there was a problem, the cut file' or 'the disk image file is corrupted.

  In some cases, the file gets however mounted, but to find out, I have to watch computer containing all the readers.

  In each case, whenever I drop an ISO that contains audio from SACD or other media, danslechamp of J River Media Center 'Play now', it shows every single track file picture disc and plays well. So he does, even when burned on a DVD + R, then, obviously, the ISOs are healthy and should the problem with Windows...

  I'd be happy to hear from you on this subject.

  The file must be renamed to .exe on the Microsoft site.  This is an executable, not an ISO standard

  (Visio 2013 64 bit in English)

  OK guys, I FOUND THE SOLUTION by chance.

  Here's how to solve the problem (at least it worked immediately when I did it, then try it!)

  Right click on the image in question file (.) IMG. ISO, etc...) and choose a default program to open with. WIndows MUST ABSOLUTELY BE the DEFAULT program to open the image files. There is a bug not declared on the Explorer of Windows 8 is not not the default value, which is not to open an image file valid, not corrupted.  YOU MUST set the default Windows Explorer to mount as a virtual DVD drive image files in WIndows 8.

  That's all and I hope it works for you. Thank you! and if it works, please mark this as useful to show your appreciation, because there is no button of congratulations or thanks. : D

  Here what I was doing, eject the SD card (you don't have to get out of the computer).  Try to mount again.  I did it and it worked perfectly.

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  I have a few virtual machines with a yellow exclamation mark on the vmware tools icon indicating that they can be updated. When I try and update vmware tools manually, I get the error: "VMware ISO image tools exist or is inaccessible. See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem".

If your product comes with the module of VMware tools, VMware ESX to reinstall, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine. »

  I got messages stating I must check vmtools directory symbolic links and I think that those who are present. I also tried to manually navigate to the image file, but it seems that there is a problem any with the file system. See the images below:

  

  ESXi installed on a USB key. The directory of the iso images is corrupt? Can anyone help me on how can I fix? Should I just replace the USB key, or is there another way?

  See the input / output error on the screen usually indicates a faulty drive (or in this case device USB). I wouldn't waste a lot of time and replace the USB key.

• Iso image VDR does not start

  Hello

  VSphere 4.1.0

  I'm currently building a VDR from scratch, I had some problems with a previous installation.  I can't get the VMwareDataRecovery - 1.2.1.1616 - 369570-i386

  . ISO to boot at all.

  I checked that another ISO image would be start, no problem.  But the VDR just... does not work.  I get kicked in the network boot agent / PXE after that.  I tried to start the ISO from a store of data with the customer's computer via the option "connect the CD/DVD.

  I just downloaded a new copy of the VDR to make sure I didn't have a corrupt ISO.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  The ISO installation file is not bootable. It contains for example the OVF files for the device...

  Extract the files from the ISO image or mount it to the virtual CD-ROM drive of a Windows VM to access the files.
