try to disconnect CD-ROM but unable to override the guest OS lock or answering the VM

[eric_krejci]

Hello,

I'm trying to add mount and unmount ISO to VMs (vRO through vRA)

I have a perfectly working wokflow to mount ISO to VMs, but when I want to detach or unmount it using the default "Disconnect all detachable devices from a running virtual machine" workflow I must answer a question from the VM.

this is where my problems begin.

I did not found a way (property or method) to force the disconnect from the (reconfigVM_Task) and I'm not able to answer the VM question.

I tried to use the workflow "Wait for task and answer virtual machine question" to answer the question, but it doesn't find any task that need to be answered.

I'm totally stuck.

any idea?

thank you in advance.

Eric

Hello,

finally got it worked.

it was something hung within vRO and vCenter. I restarted vRO and everything went normally.

I can unmount the ISO, trap the question and answer it.
