So I was working on my vSphere 5.0 host, and mounted an application cd iso within my VM. Got an 'access denied' error within the VM. I tried the access from the host cdrom, from iso, and from the client's CD drive to no avail.
I went ahead and did my upgrade to 5.1, thinking this might help or that it was some kind of bug. I'm gettig the same behavior within this particular VM. I try to mount the client CD on another VM on the same host, and the CDROM hangs on 'connecting' within the other VMs.
Is this a host issue, etc? Has anyone else seen this issue? Perhaps it's something simple that I'm missing...
