This tutorial will show you how to upload an ISO image to a datastore managed by vCenter using the vSphere Client so that you can use it to install an operating system on a virtual machine. The following steps have been tested on a VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 host managed by version 6.7 of the vCenter Server Appliance.
Step 1: Login to vCenter
Login to the vCenter Server Appliance by typing its IP or domain name into a web browser then clicking the button to launch the vSphere Client (HTML5).
Enter your username and password then click LOGIN.
Step 2: Create folder to store ISO images
In the following steps we'll create a folder on a datastore called iso-images to store our uploaded ISO.

- Navigate to the Storage screen
- Select a datastore
- Click Files
- Click New Folder
Give the folder a name of iso-images then click OK.
Let's see how to add a driver to the VMware ESXi 6.7 installation ISO. In this example we'll show how to integrate the driver for Realtek network adapter into the VMWare ESXi image. To customize ESXi images VMware recommends using official tool – vSphere ESXi Image Builder. But is it very specific and requires vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA). Open the summary tab of the VM and click the connect icon. This will most likely popup the Client Integration Access Control. For this example I will connect a ISO file located on my laptop. I browsed to a local Windows Server 2012 ISO file and click Open. CD/DVD drive 1 changes status from disconnected to connected.
Step 3: Upload an ISO image
Select the iso-images folder then click Upload Files.
Browse your local machine for an ISO image you want to upload. In the example below I'm using a MacBook to upload a Ubuntu 18.04 ISO.
You should see the progress of the upload in the bottom pane. Wait for the progress bar to reach 100%.
After the upload completes, you will see the ISO image in the iso-images folder.

Conclusion
In this tutorial we used the VMware vSphere HTML5 client to upload an ISO image to a datastore. We can now use this ISO to install an operating system on a new virtual machine.
