background:
Today, my leader suddenly came to me and asked me if I could load a local image in vsphere, because the customer did not want to upload his image to the storage pool (and if he was allowed to upload it to the storage pool, it would also involve permission issues, which would be more troublesome).
I have tried using a local image to install the system in the vsphere VMware client, but I have never used it on this web page. However, I have told the leader that it is possible, and I also know that it is possible in the client. Logically speaking, VMware should not be able to do it. Cut off the function of using local images. I must not have found it. Next, I’ll share with you the search process.
Environment: Hyper-converged cluster composed of ESXI6.7
win10 system
VMware workstations 16 pro
process:
1) Create a virtual machine
The process is abbreviated
2) Mount a local image to the virtual machine (use ordinary user rights for demonstration here)
After creating the virtual machine, click on the summary page of the virtual machine, and then click to start Remote Console. A
pop-up window will appear saying try to open the VMware Workstations software. We click to open it.
We can see that the local VMware has been opened, click on the CD/DVD drive
and then configure it as shown in the figure below. First, check Connect at startup, select the local client for the location, select Use ISO image file, and select the image to use. Then click OK.
Click Open to enter the installation interface.
3) Configure user permissions (the highest authority account is used for demonstration here)
First of all, we need to create a new user.
Find System Management in the menu.
Find Users and Groups.
First switch the domain
and click Add User.
Enter the user name, password, confirm password, and description. You can also write a description, then click Add and click the
filter button to enter our user. You can see that it has been added successfully.
Next, we will set up the role. What I think here is what permissions the user using this role has.
Here we select this virtual machine console user. In the description on the right, we can see what permissions this role has. We can also click on the privileges on the far right to see what specific permissions the role has.
Okay, after we set the role permissions, return to the virtual machine interface
, click Operation, and then select Add Permissions.
Select the domain, enter the username, and select the role to be assigned. Then click Add.
In the Permissions tab, we can see the added users and corresponding role permissions, and can perform operations such as addition and deletion.
Okay, now we can log in using the test user.
It should be noted that the user name when logging in is: [email protected], and the user's domain must be added to successfully log in.
That’s all for today. If you have any questions, you can comment or send me a private message. Thank you all for watching.
