A script that detects cdroms that are connected or marked connect at power on and are mapped to non-shared storage.
This statement defines the VMs at risk for CDRom states that "block or may block if powered on" vMotion in HA or DRS.
The scripts below have been used to ID these risks but none match the statement perfectly and allow direct forwarding to VM Admins for correction of true risk.
Some ID all connected CDRoms, but if connected to shared storage there is no issue.
Some ID .ISO mappings but ignore connection state or when "connect on power on" is selected or not; or whether CDRom is connected; or if other non-shared storage is mapped.
So we need a script that lists "cdroms that are connected or marked connect at power on and are mapped to non-shared storage".
Any help appreciated and all points will be awarded.
