Hello, I am very new to VMware and am just learning while doing as the saying goes. I am having trouble getting my HP blade enclosure on board DVD drive to connect to the VMware guest OS on any of my blades. I have Windows XP on two of my blades and Windows 2003 server on the third one. None of the blade OS's can connect and use the DVD drive that is onboard the blade enclosure. I can attach the DVD drive to each blade OK with HP Onboard Administrator, and I go ahead and configure the virtual machines to connect to the host DVD drive, but I never am able to use the drive to read a CD. Or, I should say, almost never. At one point it suddenly started working, and I went home thinking my problem was solved, but next morning the problem was back again. Could someone list the steps to attach a host DVD drive to a virtual machine so I could be sure I am doing everything right? Thanks for your help.
