Connect the disk image in the VMware vCloud Director

Connect the disk image in the VMware vCloud Director
The strange story of these hosting - like systems is not much, but each administrator manages to add to its own system, in the best case your bike, and in the worst rake.

And the only people raising for some ideological reasons hosting on VMware, are stable: acquainted already with about five fingers virtual hosting, I found that each is considered that the installation of the system - it is the customer's problem, so much so that the installation images it should also start himself.

Actually connect the installation image to the VMware vCloud Director in several ways, but first you need to install additional plug-ins for Action VMware Client Support & VMware Remote Console, which siphoned off from the portal host at login. It is also necessary to have installed in the Java engine.

After this, log into the Portal VMware vCloud Director and choose which way to go: you can either download the image, or put him, or to connect to a virtual machine drive your drive and put it.
I have to say - I know the way to the second theory, because it is used one time in the wonderful hosting it turned out that I did not have enough space to download Minimal CentOS 370 Megs. And like the image even connected, but still did not work out, and when the system reboots swore he did not see the drive.
Actually go to the VMware vCloud Director -> My Cloud -> VMs click into the image of the virtual display and we opened the window with the virtual console VMRCConsole. It clicked in the CD / DVD icon in the window that opens, prescribes the full path to the disk image. Then we say OK and reboot the machine to drive the pick-up.

The main method that I use - is to download its image, which pass VMware vCloud Director -> Catalogs -> My Organization's Catalogs in the main window, click the button Upload. It may set up security so that before downloading, we have to create a folder in the directory and load the image into it.
Once the image is loaded, go VMware vCloud Director -> My Cloud -> VMs -> right click on the image of the virtual machine and talking Insert CD / DVD from Catalog, then select our image and also run the virtual console in which the holding unit system.
