Ran over this on IBM H-Series with Windows unattended deployments. Without the correct entry in the answer file, the Windows install on a HS20 blade would simply halt if it was not active on the KVM.

When the media tray is switched to a blade then the CD is hotplugged in as a new USB mass storage device. When switched away, it is likewise removed. The same applies for keyboard/mouse when switching KVM focus. You should see the same behaviour in an H-series chassis as you have an E-series, as they work in just the same way. Hi Scott,
