This article explains how to boot a VMware Virtual Machine (VM) or Virtual Applicance using a ISO / bootable media. This works with all versions of VMWare virtualization products including ESX/ESXi, Vmware Workstation and VMware Server (Discontinued).
- Start up the Vmware vSphere session by providing your hostname or IP address, username and password.
- Once you have logged in you will need to navigate and locate the VMware that you wish to boot from an ISO. Make sure that the VM is powered off as you will not be able to make these changes with the VM powered on. Once you have powered the VM right click on the name of the VM and click “Edit Settings”.

My company has been / is making the jump from Parallel’s Virutozzo HyperVisor based Virtuozzo to Vmware’s ESX/ESXi Virtualization and I’ve been liking what I’ve been seeing and working with. So much I ended up first installing Vmware’s Server 2 and then replacing it with ESXi (3) at home to play and educate myself. Well, thats the problem. I figured I’d look into getting my certification in VCP 4 (Vsphere) and ESXi… but geez, its so damned expensive. I mean, I understand its in high demand, but $3,000.00….. How in the world am I supposed to be able to afford that vs other certifications, while at the same time trying to keep my head above water. The cost of living is already high enough as it is.
Vmware… if you happen to see this, perhaps you can shed some light as to why your courses / fast tracks are so damned expensive. I’d love to understand why.
