How can I eject a cd-drive on ESX host/
Hello experts,
I have some mislabed servers and I would like to eject the cd-roms to identify which ones they are and label them accordingly.
I have used the eject -v, -T and it says /dev/cdrom: Function not implemented.
I have also done ls -l /dev/cdrom and it comes up with things that I really don't quite understand.
Is there an easier way?
Thank you,
Karen

Well that would have saved me hours, worked like a charm, thank you. I actually before you responded added the host cd-rom to the windows vm and ejected that way which was the dumbest thing I think I have done today but it accomplished what I needed. Now I know the command so I won't have to do that again. Thank you.
