1TB is the size of physical disk, but it is sliced to some chunks.
And you're running into disk space issues with one chunk.

What exactly is your problem?

Not a good idea to store .iso's in /tmp

Make ISO directory for .iso files on datastore and then copy .iso to /vmfs/volumes/<datastorename>/ISO
