This is a fresh install and its all local storage. I have not made any changes to the system or permissions aside from running veeam root to give root permissions on the esx host to...what i thought..was to allow the copying of these iso's to the vmfs folder since i did not assign enough space on the vmimages folder. Viewing the permissions of the vmfs folder it appears to have the same access rights as the vmimages folder and a number of other folders to which i can create and copy files.
