then check your snapshot configs, maybe they have a reference to a CD/DVD on local storage?

indeed, snapshot was taken with install iso attached from local storage ...
so we have to take care to first dismount local cd roms prior to take a snapshot ....
this is new for me ...
 
I had the same issue.
I visited the following path /etc/pve/nodes/<NODE-NAME>/qemu-server/<vm_id.conf> and commented the lines of the snapshots containing records about digital media connected to CD roms.
I saved the file and it worked.
