Configuring VM Devices

Configure VM devices to disable or enable insertion of virtual CDs (VCDs) in all VMs or attachment of USB devices to all VMs. By default, these VM devices can be inserted and attached. Use VM Device Configuration on the Preferences page to change the configuration.

When VM devices are enabled (the default) for insertion or attachment, you can insert VCDs in all VMs or attach a USB device to VMs. When VM devices are disabled for insertion or attachment, you cannot insert or attach these devices.
