Hi guys i am very new to cloud virtualization vmware tools etc, I have just started using vCO and trying to perform simple tasks. I was wondering if the following task can be automated using a workflow.
say i want to install an application on a VM.
i have the iso file for the application called app.iso on the C drive of my machine.
when i power on a VM i can manually add an iso from "connect/disconnect the cd/dvd devices of VM > cd/dvd device > connect to ISO on local disk"
but is there a way to do it using a workflow?
the workflow should ask for the VM and the location of the iso file on disk
if not can i add the iso from a datastore
and is there an action/workflow to upload a file from local disk to datastore?
after getting the iso how do i make the installer work and how do i automate the options to be selected on the installer. For eg selecting the product keys from a file that contains the list, selecting the location of installation etc.
thanks in advance
