hi,
I am trying to find an option to boot from ISO on my second VM. Due to Hypervisor 6.5 free version limitation I cannot edit it over Vshere client. So I logged in over web interface and there are 2 options: 'host device' or 'datastore ISO'. I could not upload it to datastore due to ISO file size 3.5 GB (Windows 2012r2) halfway through it stopped. When choosing host device it shows a message under: 'Client CD/DVD devices are not supported when using the VMware Host Client. If you wish to use a client device, please use the vSphere Web Client.
This device will be ignored.'
How else can I load from ISO to install windows 2012 on my second VM? Is there a command line over SSH to mount it by chance ? Or the only way is to purchase a license with extended features ?
