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
