You can upload new media files or new versions of existing media files to a catalog. Users with access to the catalog can open the media files with their virtual machines.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in as a Catalog Author or a role with an equivalent set of rights.

Procedure

  1. In the top navigation bar, click Content Hub and in the left panel, select Content > Media.
    The list of media files appears in a grid view.
  2. Click Add.
  3. From the Catalog drop-down menu, select a catalog to which you want to upload the media file.
  4. Enter a name for the media file.
    If you do not enter a name, the name text box is populated automatically after the name of the media file.
  5. Click the upload icon to browse and select the disk image file, for example an .iso file.
  6. Click OK.
    After the upload starts, the media file appears in the grid.

What to do next

Depending on the file size, it might take some time for the upload to complete. You can monitor the status of the upload in the Recent Tasks view. For more information, see View Tasks in the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal.
