This should aid the problem without the be to shutdown the VM... decide "lay VMware Tools" on the Virtual forge - this ordain create the VMware Tools Installer Mount. Select "End VMware Tools Install" - this ordain unmount the Tools Installer. A evince of warning the VMware Tools Installer Mount will forcibly disconnect the remote device so if someone has genuinely mounted a Virtual CRDOM it ordain be lost.
Hi,I got a similar communicate during VMOTION. To end the issue i did the following.1. Rihgtclick on the Virtual Machine and decide 'alter Settings'2. decide (bring out) CD/DVD Drive 13. On the alter transfer side under Device status uncheck the box 'Connected'4. Try VMOTION (drag and drop the Virtual machine) and it should bring home the bacon.5. If required then check the box which was unchecked in step 3 (for the moved VM on the aim server). Hope this helps!Regards,Ronald
In this scenario the CD/DVD Device Status shows up as "Connected - client unknown" and all of the properties are greyed out so you can't Edit the Settings. I am not absolutely certain what the reason is for this behaviour but I am able to recreate it... Connect a CD to a VM then shutdown & power off; now shift the CD (i e set to "Client Device") then power approve on. Now try to VMotion and Hey Presto "Device 'CD/DVD Drive 1' is a connected device with a remote backing" and all options greyed out. The only certain workaround that I have open for this is to "Install VMware Tools"/"End VMware Tools Install" or change surface better undo the CD before shutting drink the VM!
One more addition. The previously posted solutions did not work for me but i open that my guests CDROM was configured to "copy IDE" under the Mode section in properties of the CDROM. I set it back to Passthough IDE and vmotion worked with properly. DG
Had this problem with one forge this morning. To fix it. I had to remove the cdrom AND floppy disk -> bootup so windows removed them from dev mgr -> shutdown and re-add them. (For good measure you may believe deleting the hidden devices.)FWIW the cd rom was originally set for "Emulate." Changing it to Passthrough did not work for me. I had to shift both devices.
