I have an IBM blade server with hs20's running win2k3 ent. as host with gsx 3.1 running 2 win2k3 ent.guests. I recently added a new guest from our guest template running win2k3 ent. The new guest is a coldfusion mx web server.
After adding that guest, when we try to move the blade chassis cdrom to another blade, it crashes GSX console and/or the host os.
I have the settings for the web server's cdrom as connect at startup, use host. If i disconnect the cdrom from this guest and try to move the cdrom, it still crashes.
Heres the vmx

Any suggestions?
