Re: Set-CDDrive -ISOPath parameters?

Hello, alansinclair-

The value that you should specify for the parameter -ISOPath is a datastore path.  A datastore path is of the form:

[datastoreName] someFolder/somefile.iso

This consists of:

0)  the name of the datastore, enclosed in the square brackets

1)  a space character

2)  the name of the desired folder at the root of the datastore

3)  a forward slash (the example in the New-CDDrive documentation incorrectly uses a backslash)

4)  the name of the desired file in the given folder

Another datastore path example, to try to help clarify:

[templatesAndISOs] myISOs/kickstartBoot.iso

This datastore path specified the "kickstartBoot.iso" ISO file that resides in the "myISOs" folder at the root of the "templatesAndISOs" datastore.

So, to create a new CDDrive for a VM and attach an ISO to the CDDrive, would copy "kickstartBoot.iso" to the "myISOs" folder on the "templatesAndISOs" datastore, and then issue the command:

$cdDrive=New-CDDrive-VMmyVM-ISOPath"[templatesAndISOs] myISOs/kickstartBoot.iso"

Make sense?
