Content Library - Connect ISO to any VM within the vCenter. Do I really need a vCenter wide Shared Datastore?

Content Library.  (stuck at 6.5 atm... so please forgive if this was fixed in 6.7u1) 

Uploaded some ISOs.

I would like to generate automation to mount an ISO to any Virtual Machine within the vCenter.

Currently, I can only do this to any VM running on an ESXi host that has access to the same datastore the Content Library is configured on.

If I have twenty Clusters, all with different datastore clusters, I would need twenty Content Library subscriptions (on each cluster datastore) for this to work?

Or even worse ( I feel ) having a single datastore mounted to every single host within the vcenter and parking the content library on that datastore.

 

I understand the complexity of mounting an ISO that is on a datastore the host cannot reach...

But we created the code to allow someone to connect an ISO from their Windows desktop to a VM (via the console client...)  Shouldn't the vCenter be able to broker this type of connection?

 

Any ideas or solutions anyone has came up with?

 

Nick
