      Hi!

      I want to boot CR-target VMs to do file-level recovery.
      Currently, I have to do:

      • Recovery-Start
      • Assign ISO
      • Force Shutdown
      • Recovery-Start
        ...as I did not find a solution to assign a DVD-drive to a VM in state shutdown

      Is there any possibility to do something like: boot with THAT ISO?

      I just want to avoid doing mistakes and to boot from disk.

      Best wishes
      KPS

        Not sure to get the issue. Go to the halted VM, disk tab, select ISO. Then boot the VM.

          Sorry, maybe, I am blind, but I do not find any possibility to set the ISO in the disk-tab:

                There's no stupid questions, only bad UX/UI 🙂
