VM の仮想 CD/DVD ドライブからメディアを切断するときに、 Linux ゲストでマウントしたままだと、質問メッセージがでて VM が停止してしまいます。 しかも、ゲスト OS でアンマウントしている場合でも、 なぜか同様に VM が停止してしまうことがあります。 そこで PowerCLI を利用して、VM を起動したままの状態で メディアを取り出してみます。   メディア切断時の VM の状態。 仮想 CD/DVD ドライブからメディアを取り出そうとすると、下記のような状態になります。   この状態では、下記のように質問に応答するまで VM が停止してしまいます。   この状態を回避するには、下記の KB のように対象 VM にパラメータを追加します。   マウントされた CDROM が切断された後、Linux 仮想マシンが応答しない (2144053) https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2144053?lang=ja   PowerCLI でのパラメータ追加～メディア切断。 下記のような PowerCLI スクリプトを作成してみました。 KB にあるパラメータを VM に追加。 VM の 仮想 CD/DVD ドライブからメディア切断。 パラメータを VM から削除。   eject_cd_no-msg.ps1 · GitHub $vm_name = $args[0]   Get-VM $vm_name | % {     $vm = $_         # Add AdvancedSetting     $vm | New-AdvancedSetting -Name cdrom.showIsoLockWarning -Value "FALSE" -Confirm:$false |         ft -AutoSize Entity,Name,Value     $vm | New-AdvancedSetting -Name msg.autoanswer -Value &q
