# Connettere un'immagine ISO a una VM (EN)

:::tip
You can refer to the guide [Upload an ISO to a datastore](/it/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/vmware-datastore-upload.md) for more information on uploading elements (ISO, files, etc.) to your VMware on OVHcloud environment.

:::

## Objective

You can set up an ISO library in your infrastructure to be used for OS and software deployment.

**This guide will run you through the process of connecting an ISO image to a VM.**

## Requirements

- Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://www.ovhcloud.com/it/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/) to receive login credentials
- A user account with access to vSphere (created in the <ManagerLink to="/">OVHcloud Control Panel</ManagerLink>)

## Instructions

### Library Creation

In the vSphere interface menu, go to the `Storage
` section.

Choose the Datastore you will be building the library in (prefer Shared Storage over Local to avoid file access issues).

In the `Files
` tab, Click on `New Folder
`.
![FOLDER](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en01newfolder.png)
After naming your folder (ISOs in our study case), select it and click `Upload Files
`.
![UPLOAD](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en02upload.png)
Browse to the ISO file(s) you wish to upload and click `Open
`.
![BROWSE](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en03browse.png)
Your library is set. You can add more ISO images as you need and as storage space allows.

### Connect Image to VM

In the vSphere interface menu, go to the `Hosts & Clusters
` section.

Right click the VM you need the ISO image attached to and click on `Edit Settings
`.

![EDIT](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en05edit.png)
Change the CD/DVD drive setting to Datastore ISO File.

![ISO](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en06dataiso.png)
In the browsing window that pops up, navigate to the library previously created and select the image you wish to use.

Click on `OK
`.
![SELECT](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en07choose.png)
Back in the "Edit Settings" menu, make sure the "Connect" box is checked and click `OK
`.
![CONNECT](/images/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/how-to-connect-an-iso-image-to-a-vm/en08connect.png)
The ISO image is now connected to your VM and can be accessed as if it were an attached physical media.

## Go further

To go further with uploads within your Hosted Private Cloud - VMware on OVHcloud environment, please refer to the guide [Uploading an ISO into a datastore](/it/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/vmware-datastore-upload.md).

You can use your vCenter on OVHcloud secure HTML web client, as well as `govc` (see the procedure in the guide).
