Hi all, I have observed a non-consistent issue on the detach ISO operation for running VMs. Some guest OS refuse to release an attached ISO even though the ISO is not mounted, making the detach ISO operation fail if the VM is running. For example, a CentOS 7 running VM on Vmware 6.5 fails to detach an ISO with error: 'Connection control operation failed for disk 'ide0:0' if the VM is running'. However, there is no issue if the VM is stopped.
As a workaround executing an 'eject' command on the guest VM before the detach operation solves the problem. The detach ISO operation in CloudStack could be extended to support a 'force' option - which could perform a similar workaround when the VM is running. I would be interested to know if you have experimented similar issues on different hypervisors or could be some hypervisor specific version issue.
