has anyone seen the floppy attached to unknown device?

Hello, I have tried to vmotion a vm to another host but it wouldnt let me because the virtual floppy is connected. I went into settings and the option to disconnect was greyed out and I noticed it was set to client device. I have full administrative privilages so I dont know why I dont have the right to detach the floppy but has anyone seen this before? the floppy button on the toolbar shows that no device is connected.

thanks

Don

Client is referring to a users machine running the VI Client/Web that is connecting to the VM and attempting to use the floppy from their machine. Look in the events/tasks tab for the machine to see who has connected to it. It also could be VC still thinking it is connected when it no longer is. try switching it to host device to see if it clears the error.
