Configure a Client Device Type for the DVD/CD-ROM Drive in the vSphere Client
You can connect the DVD/CD-ROM device to a physical DVD or CD-ROM device on the system running the vSphere Client.
Procedure
Select the virtual machine in the vSphere Client inventory.
Click the CD/DVD Connections icon on the virtual machine toolbar.
Select a drive or ISO image from the CD/DVD drive drop-down menu.
Passthrough IDE (raw) mode access is set by default, which lets you write or burn a remote CD.
The reference is ok, but I thing the right answer is A – Client device and Passthrough (IDE) mode.
I agree with vspheremat “A is the right answer”
I think A is correct, confirm. Pag 140 Point 5 says Client Device
A is right. B is almost correct, but the word “MUST” makes it wrong.
