How to determine which vm has a host's floppy or cd drive?

[John_Balsillie]

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest an easy method to determine which vm has an active connection to a host's floppy or cd drive without checking the settings of each vm individually?

Thanks,

Create a bash script to check all VMs vmx file (configuration) and grep the occurence.

You could also be notified by mail if an there's some occurence.

I can figured out a method simpliest than this

I'd recommend checking out the VI Toolkit for PowerShell. These type of tasks are made very simple using powershell and the toolkit. It is currently in Beta download from VMware, but well worth it and very well done.
