    Is it possible to mount an ISO to the VM from the internet without downloading it?

    Hi,

    No, it is not possible.

    It is possible to mount an ISO from a network share / NFS datastore.

    No, even if possible that would be not productive at all...

    You can always use a DataStore to upload your ISO files after you download them, and also content libraries, that are a really cool feature.

    Content Libraty:

    Using Content Libraries

    Upload the iso and use it from datastore:

    Hope that helps
