Not a fault or bug but just something to look for... ( at least I don't think so.. maybe info indicating why the failure in someway?)

I had a VM migration that kept saying it was failing because of a missing iso for the cdrom..

GUI indicated that no iso or hardware was to be used.. argh...

Anyway I cat the conf file for the VM in question and I could see that it was indeed tied to the missing iso.

But mentally I was expecting the conf file to contain certain lines and thats kinda what I missed.. in the rush/confusion what I was seeing last few lines.

Come to find out.. there was a snapshot attached to the VM... deleting that migration worked..

YMMV
