Using VMware vSphere 6.5. I uploaded a vmdk file for a prebuilt appliance, running on CentOS 7. Put the file in my ISO folder.
Then I created a VM, and attached a new hard drive from existing, and pointed to the vmdk file in the ISO folder. Started the VM, everything works well. Except...
Now I have a folder named 'appliance01', with all the usual files in it, except the vmdk file.
Is it possible to relocate the vmdk file from the ISO folder to the 'appliance01' folder to clean things up, and if so, how?
I tried turning off the vm, copying the vmdk into the 'appliance01' folder, deleting the original HD, and adding an existing disk pointing to the copy. It brought up the boot screen, and attempted, but would not start.
Thanks.
