install linux guest on windows host using a .iso file on vmserver 2.0
- by Bob
I have done this in vmserver 1.0. I set the Cd to point to the .iso file. Then I start the vm and it starts to install.
I am on the summary screen. I have created a VM.
I go to CD/DVD - edit
I change the radio button to Host Medio
Then I select ISO Image and Browse.
Here is the problem: Then in my browser I get
Inventory
- Virtual Machine (directory)
I don't know where that directory is. I have my ISO's in a folder on my desktop. I can't browse to my desktop. When I try to just put in a path such as
c:\mydesktop\mylinuxdirectory\linux1.iso
The following problems have been found:OKThe ISO Image File Path must be a valid file path in the format: "[datastore] /path/to/isoimage.iso".
so how do I browse to an ISO? I can add the iso after I start the VM, but by then its too late and the VM says no Operating System installed.
