How to work with ISO disks

When you create a template with an ISO, specify an extra disk as part of the template.

• The platform will create an additional hard disk

• The user can change the size of the disk before they deploy a VM.

To work with an ISO disk:

1. Create a VM from a template with an ISO disk

2. Adjust the size of extra disk as required

3. Deploy the VM

4. Install software from the ISO as required

To remove an ISO disk from the VM

1. Power off the VM

2. If necessary, edit the VM storage and in the boot order and change the ISO disk from sequence number 0 to another value, e.g. 1

3. Remove the ISO disk

4. Save the changes

5. Power on the VM

An ISO disk or DVD must always be in the last position in the disk sequence.

To add a hard disk to a VM with an ISO disk

1. Remove the ISO disk

2. Add the hard disk

3. Add the ISO disk again
