When restoring a VM with a SATA CD-ROM drive attach the following error will be observed:
"API Call failed with message: Invalid configuration for device '11'".
This is the default type of CD-ROM drive with hardware version 10 Virtual Machiness.
CAUSE 1
In ESXi 5.5 there were 2 new devices that are used for CD-Rom in a Version 10 hardware virtual machine, VirtualAHCIController and VirtualSataController.
Since these 2 new devices are not in the code they are resolved to just VirtualController.
So when an attempt is made to restore a savepoint, it will attempt to restore a VirtualController object which will fail.
CAUSE 2
ISO Image is attached to the source VM when it was backed up
Issue fixed in vRanger 7.1.1
