How to upload ISO or FLP media

Overview

You may find you need to upload ISO (DVD/CD) or FLP (floppy disk) media to VMware Cloud Director that have already been provided by UKCloud. These media can then:

  • Be consumed by users within your organisation

  • Facilitate the creation of VMs from scratch, which can then be saved to your catalog for future deployment

Uploading ISO or FLP media

  1. In VMware Cloud Director, in the top menu, select Libraries.

  5. Enter a Name for the media if you want to use something more user-friendly than the file name.

  6. Click the Upload icon and browse to the ISO or FLP file that you want to upload.
