    Hi brietmax,

    if I understand you (to be honest, that is not so easy ;)), you have to configure in Aria Automation Orchestrator the vSphere Plugin and connect to the vCenter, where you want to mount the CD-ROM. 

    Be aware, that you need the full path to the ISO file on the datastore to mount it - that could be a challenge without browsing the datastores.

    Also note that, at least up to Orchestrator 8.18.1, the default CD-ROM is mounted on an IDE controller.

    Small additional detail:

    You have to go to "Assembler >> Design >> Resources Actions" and not into "Custom Resources". Those ones are to create new types of resources you want to manage on Aria Automation (ie: NAS Volumes, etc...)
