Hi Makrand, planning on giving access to customers to provision them self, but it is in POC state, currently though. Found the issue why it was starting off the HD, though I have attached the ISO the time it takes for vMWare to connect the image is too long, by that time the VM has already started the boot process. By increasing the boot delay from vMWare side I was able to boot off the iso. If that does not works you can always press esc and access the boot menu and select CDrom, once the connection is made
