Fault
Description
One of the virtual machine's devices uses a backing that is not accessible
on the host.
Following is a discussion of this fault's use in migration validation.
This is an error if the device is currently connected and a warning
otherwise. Devices that can be disconnected can only be connected if the virtual
machine is powered on.
The usage of this fault is slightly different if the backing of a device is
inherently host-local, and therefore not shared or globally named among
hosts. (Examples of such backings: physical CD-ROM drive, physical serial
port.) If a device with such a backing is currently connected, that will
be a migration error. If the device is disconnected, there will be a
warning if no backing with the same name exists on the destination host.
If the device is disconnected and a backing with the same name exists on
the destination host, this is neither a warning nor an error case, even
though the destination host's backing is not the same instance as the
source host's. It is assumed that use of the host-local backing is what is
desired for the device.
