Description

I noticed that there was already an issue regarding this problem, referenced in #1750. I suggest re-enabling this enhancement to allow for the use of a Content Library ISO file (.iso) attached to the CD-ROM of a virtual machine. Currently AFAIK it is only possible to use Content Libraries with templates or OVF/VMDK.

Use Case(s)

Allows a user to consume an .iso artifact from the content library as a content library item versus an .iso file on a datastore.

data "vsphere_content_library_item" "iso" {
   name = "ubuntu-22.04-lts-x64"
   type = "iso"
}

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm" {
  #... brevity
  cdrom {
    content_library_item =  data.content_library_item.id
  }
}

Potential Terraform Provider Configuration
