Once you’ve mounted the disc image, you’ll see it appear as a new drive under This PC. Right-click the drive and select “Eject” to unmount the ISO file when you’re done. Select the file in File Explorer and and click the “Mount” button under the “Disk Image Tools” tab on the ribbon.
Right-click an ISO file and select the “Mount” option. This won’t work if you have ISO files associated with another program on your system. On Windows 8 and 10, Windows has the built-in ability to mount both ISO disc image and VHD virtual hard drive image files. How to change on ESXi 6.Mounting an ISO Image in Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 Log into esxi host via putty and run command to see all vmfs datastores, copy UUID of your datastore, which you need remove – in my case 51b1efd0-2a266292-b8a7-001999fe9e50 lsof | grep 51b1efd0-2a266292-b8a7-001999fe9e50Īnd use „lsof“ command – to see, which files are open – in my case it was the syslog folder () for ESXi host, after change it in advanced settings of ESXi i finally removed the datastore ! Volume Name VMFS UUID Extent Number Device Name Partition If you need know, which files are open (locked) for selected host follow this: esxcli storage vmfs extent list So now, you have the clean VMFS 5.xx datastore from VMs… but, is possible, that your hosts uses this datastore for the syslog storage (my case) in this situation you still cannot remove it. iso file – if the VMs is stored on temporary datastore and you still see it on „old datastore“ check the settings of VM and disconnect datastore. 
Snapshots ! – if the VMs is stored on temporary datastore and you still see it on „old datastore“ check the snapshots. The most time-consuming part is lates part of ugrade… you cannot upgrade VMFS 5.xx directly to VMFS 6, so you need migrate all VMs from datastore to the temporary datastore, unmount and remove old VMFS 5.xx datastore, create a new, format it as VMFS 6 and migrate all VMs back from temporary datastore. The scenario is the same for each customer – upgrade VCSA, firmware on hosts, ESXi nodes and upgrade VMFS to latest 6.0, which was introduced with vSphere 6.5. I going through doing some upgrade of VMFS5.xx to VMFS6 on the customers datastores. VMware – Can’t unmount/remove datastore – in use or file system is busy
