I however, have a problem: when I try to add a CDROM (when there is none installed) I get an error in VMUtil.pm. When I trie to add a CDROM after I added via the VI Client vmreconfig does work properly. I think it has to do with the absence of the IDE controller. Do you know how to fix this? The error: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Perl Toolkit\Perl\apps\vm>vmreconfig.pl --filename c:\config\testvmreconfig.xml --schema c:\config \vmreconfig.xsd Adding NIC with the name 'Network Adapter 2' . . .
