Eric Siebert over at VMware-Land has put together a new Top 10 list featuring the Top 10 free tools that should be in every VMware administrator's toolkit. My little vmCDConnected app is on the 9th place. After a lot of late hours of coding I finally can release the vmCDConnected application. What’s so special about this application ? Well it scans all the Virtual Machines and shows if they have a CD connected to it. After scanning the VM’s you can disconnect all the CD’s with a click of a button. Why do we need it ? Imagine you have a DRS cluster with 80 VM’s, when one of those VM’s is connected to a CD it will stay on the same ESX server because V-Motion doesn’t work in combination with a connected CD.
