This tutorial will show you how to upload an ISO image to a datastore managed by vCenter using the vSphere Client so that you can use it to install an operating system on a virtual machine. The following steps have been tested on a VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 host managed by version 6.7 of the vCenter Server Appliance. Upgrade ESXi 6.x to 6.7 via ISO – The steps. Step 1 – Download the ESXi 6.7 Installation ISO from VMware and use clean CD-ROM to burn the ISO to the media and prepare ESXi 6.7 CD-ROM. Note: If you have a server which supports remote connections such as ILO, iDrak or iPMI, you don't have to use physical CD-ROM.
