Why is the rhev-guest-tools-iso automatically mounted on Windows VMs when powered on?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are seeing an issue with the RHEV tools CD on our Windows VMs as described below:

    1. Mount the RHEV tools setup ISO with the "Change CD" option.
    2. Install the tools and then eject the ISO from the CD ROM
    3. Shut down the VM
    4. Power on the VM
    5. When the VM is powered on, the RHEV tools ISO is mounted in the CD ROM drive
  • This does not happen with a reboot.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2, 3.3
