This can take several minutes to complete. Select OK to complete the operation. The ISO image file has been created. 4. Creating an MD5 checksum signature of the ISO image fileWe will use the MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility to create an MD5 checksum signature for our freshly created ISO image file. This is important, so we can compare these signatures, once we have completed the transfer to our VMware host servers, and confirm the ISO image file has not been corrupted in transfer. Double-Click and start the MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility 2.1 application. Click browse and select your freshly created ISO image file. Shortly after selecting the ISO file, the application will start calculating the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksums for the file, this can take a few minutes depending upon the size of the ISO image file, which needs to be read. The MD5 checksum for my Win2k19.iso are:- MD5 Checksum: 99C9EF14D0D89C17D60B48CB705FA860 SHA-1 Checksum: 55AC0F541BCC9CE2F70AF4227239FC4A6A1E2B6E SHA-256 Checksum: 42284F69FBB2CE2562605FE3B6E3A6DFC821A29F004D7F3D93216E42E16C1401 SHA-512 Checksum: 2F61898057750F4189D9E981835D517716BF4BA07662B824EB83E34FACE274DEB8899A1FF25A4DE49E6D4DBE436914C7D133FC204E342F369716F5B9B93D8AB3 Generated by MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility @ Please note the MD5 checksum value for use with the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 7.0 (ESXi 7.0) Congratulations you have successfully created your first ISO (*.iso), and created an MD5 checksum signature for use with VMware vSphere Hypervisor 7.0 (ESXi 7.0).In my next article in this series, we will show you HOW TO: Upload and Check the MD5 signature of an ISO CD/DVD image to a VMware datastore using the VMware Host Client, for use with VMware vSphere Hypervisor 7.0 (ESXi 7.0)Basic VMware Articles Series:These articles are also applicable to VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 5.0, 5.5, 6.0.
