  • ONTAP Select
  • VMWare ESXi
  • ISO
  • vMotion

Answer

Yes, the ISO can be safely detached while the Select system is up and running to allow you to move it to another host.
 
  • An ISO image is showing attached to the ESXi host that ONTAP Select is running.
  • For example- sdotconfig_mynode_ontap01-node.iso, and is further preventing a vMotion to another host.
 
Verify settings on the host for adding or keeping CDs mounted after use.
