VMotion problem - 'device with remote backing'

When trying to VMotion from one ESX server to another, I receive this error:

 

Unable to migrate from ESX1 to ESX2: Virtual machine is configured to use a device that prevents migration: Device 'CD/DVD Drive 1' is a connected device with a remote backing.

 

If i view the virtual machine properties, the CD/DVD drive is showing as 'Connected - client unknown'. All of the CD/DVD properties are greyed out.

 

I can click the 'Disconnect D:' button on the toolbar with the VI client, but this doesnt have any effect.

 

Any ideas?!

 

P.S i even tried removing the CD/DVD device whilst the VM was powered off, powering up the VM, powering it down, and re adding the CD/DVD but this didnt have any effect.

 

Thanks
