Hi,
I have a single public catalog which contains all of my vApp templates and this works fine for deployment to my many organisations.
Today I decided to upload some media files to the same public catalog but then discovered you cannot access these from any of the organisations.
I'm led to believe the only way to achieve this is to create another local catalog inside every organisation and copy the media across from public.
Because doing this you could end up with many copies of the same ISO file all over the place I was wondering what other people do to share their media.
My second question is related to the use of VMRC and mounting media.
If I'm correct, it's not possible for a user to mount media from any catalog using the VMRC which is a real pain.
So you have 2 options when mounting with VMRC 1) Use the local CD/Drive of the machine 2) Enter a path to the ISO which I can't confirm is a UNC to the general network or maybe a path on the ESXi host (can someone help here?)
All advice will be gratefully received.
