Installing OS on a VM
Installing OS on a VM
I have windows 2012 server iso image in my windows 7 workstation.
in Vspher client, I have create VM machine for windows 2012, and on the tool bar of Vsphere client, I select CD/DVD1 and connected it to iso image in my workstation.
however on the console of the VM , it looks for IP in DHCP, then it prompts me to press F12 for network service boot, then it comes up with "operating system not found" message.
when I click on the icon cd/DVD1 it shows connecting.
I am not sure which causing this, and cannot install windows 2012 OS on the VM.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Did you change VM BIOS Boot Order to CDROM or hit Escape at VM POST and select CDROM
VM behaves exactly like a physical computer the BOOT source needs to be correct.
Otherwise default is to boot from hard disk and as there is no boot sector on disk drops through to try a PXE network boot.
