How to force disconnect a client-connected floppy?

Does anybody know how to force-disconnect a floppy in VC? Some user somewhere has connected a client floppy to an ESX VM and that's stopping VMotion from working. When I edit the settings for the VM and select Floppy Drive 1 the settings are all gray and under Device Status there's a check in the box "Connected to another client".

Hope you can help

Tony
