Keeping CDROMs plugged into Virtual Machines can inhibit DRS/vMotion from working well for these Virtual Machines, as such it is best practice to remove CDROMs when not needed, so follow the commands to identify them.
List all Virtual Machine with CDROM connect:
Get-VM | Get-CDDrive | Where {$_.extensiondata.connectable.connected -eq $true} | Select Parent
Disconnect all CDROM from all Virtual Machine

1.Log in to the vSphere client and navigate to the cluster on which you want to disable vCLS.
2.Copy the cluster domain ID from the URL of the browser. It should be similar to domain-c(number).
The URL will be something like this:
https://<fqdn-of-vCenter-server>/ui/app/cluster;nav=h/urn:vmomi:ClusterComputeResource:domain-c3607:1A5CDE27-53A4-435D-88B7-1A072F54A13C/summary
Copy the domainc##### part
3. go to vcenter –} advanced settings –} edit settings
4. Add a new entry, config.vcls.clusters.domain-c(###number).enabled. Use the domain ID copied in Step 2.
5. Set the Value to True
6. Click Save.
When we try to edit the Network settings through VAMI appears black Box, this situation happens with chrome the workaround is to use firefox.
