Content library support for Set-CDDrive cmdlet it is already available via New-CDDrive -ContentLibraryIso

pretty much what the title says we need support to connect an ISO from the content library to a VM.

currently we have to use a workaround that removes the CD drive and than adds a new one with the Content library Iso parameter set in order to have a CD drive with the mounted ISO.

 

Thanks.

    This will be made available as soon as the Content Library API call is implemented publicly!

    How is this still not available?

    Seems fairly straightforward to pass a -ContentLibraryItem, which would be a separate ParameterSet than -IsoPath. Then taking the data from the $contentLibraryItem passed, set the mount.

    LucD has code that already essentially does this - though it mounts it as a Datastore ISO File rather than a Content Library ISO File. But this feels relatively trivial to modify.

    As a temporary bypass you could use the function from How To Mount A Content Library ISO On A VM
