Mount a CD

[dap]

How do I mount an iso on a ESXi4.1 server. I need to install drivers.

Thanks

Funny, I was just trying to do this exact thing yesterday. Could never find the answer on how to mount the CD, but I did find a easy alternative. I found this article: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1271109 and it worked for me.

Basically you upload the .zip file to the datastore and run the update from there. It is much easier that trying to mount a CDROM in ESXi (which I've still never been able to do successfuly so I don't even know if its even possible). If you're in a hurry I would try the datastore method for updating the driver.

Cool. Thats what I have been doing. We should be able to down a zip version of a driver from vmware and not the iso. Thanks for the info.
