If it does, open an SSH connection to the ESX host. If you try to disconnect that device it may stay connected. When trying to vmotion a virtual machine you may get an error message that says you cannot migrate the vm because the CD is connected to a device that prevents migration. I had the same problem and found this solution in another post: You wont be able to VMotion until you disable the tools install.
AVAST ERROR MESSAGE YOU DEVICE IS NOT CONFIGURED CORRECTLY INSTALL
If the VM tools install thinks it is still running the CD drive is mapped to the iso file on the host. The cause is that my VMs hold "VMware Tools Install" images on their Virtual CD-ROM drives.Ĭlick "Inventry->Virtual Machine->End VMware Tools Install". I've had the same problems on my VMs running linux OS-es. Just wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
Only way I can see to fix is to remove the VMs from virtual centre and reregister them. I'm still having these problems, but now it's happening on 9 of our VMs - a real pain. I removed the VM from virtual center, and then re-registered it. Im quite sure that would work, i'll see if i can get chance to test.Ĭouldn't work out what was causing this.there weren't any sessions showing. If you can shutdown the vm for a few minutes, try making a new VM pointing to the existing disk files and see if that will vmotion. But that a good shout, as that VM has had console connected via VC, although all have been closed and VM rebooted etc. I added my CD/DVD and floppy back, but still get the issues. I think that is caused by a vcenter user with the console open to the VM that has the CD connected via Device type "Client Device"Ĭheck the sessions on the server and see if anyone has that vm open. Removing the CD/DVD didnt help, but removing both the CD/DVD and Floppy did the trick. I have this same issuse on a VM i use for testing VMotion, its been used 100's of times for VMotion. You should find what is configured to use the device.Īnother way: did you try unistalling the device in the virtual OS? 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. I can click the 'Disconnect D:' button on the toolbar with the VI client, but this doesnt have any effect. All of the CD/DVD properties are greyed out. If i view the virtual machine properties, the CD/DVD drive is showing as 'Connected - client unknown'. 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. When trying to VMotion from one ESX server to another, I receive this error:
