Scenario 23

Scenario:

In your vSphere environment that is managed by a single vCenter Server, you have determined that no VM needs to currently utilize a virtual CD drive. You notice that the vSphere client provides no direct means to easily disconnect the CD drive for a set of VMs. You obtained the following PowerCLI script from a colleague that may correct the problem:

Connect-VIServer vcenter01
Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.PowerState –eq “Powered On”} | Get-CDDrive | Set-CDDrive –NoMedia -Confirm:$False

The script appears to have syntax and potentially other issues.

Requirements:

Correct and execute the script, such that it successfully disconnects the virtual CD drive of each powered-on VM

Environment Information:

vCenter Server: vcenter-01.lab.local
