Hi everybody
I am trying to connect an ISO Image which is located on the local filesystem on the Orchestrator appliance server to a CD Rom drive whis is configrued as Client Device (remote Backing) on a VM inside an Orchestraotr workflow. I explicitly do not want to use Host Device or Datastore ISO File mounts.
Configuring the CD Rom as Client Device works fine and is easily done with a VM reconfigure task
What I am now looking for is the same functionality as for example in vSphere Client is, to connect a local "remote" ISO file to the VM (powered on of course) inside the orchestrator workflow. The goal is NOT to put the iso file on a datastore which is connected to the esxi host. (I am able to connecting an iso this way to a vm). The goal is to use the iso file located on the local datastore on the orchestrator appliance. Like i would connect a remote iso file from my workstation in vsphere Client. The reason for this is to have the iso file managed centrally and only once. Otherwise we would have to deploy the iso to several host datastores because there are different clusters and not every host/cluster sees the same datastores.
Has anyone done this before or is it just not possible to do so. I think it must be possible, because vSphere Client and WEB Client can do the same.
Thanks for any help in advance
