What is vmwCdromName?

The ISO image or physical device this virtual CD/DVD drive is backed by; like vmwVmNetName and vmwFdName, a value starting with "W:" means no backing was defined and "E:" means the backing info is unavailable, so an admin should parse those prefixes before trusting the value as a real filename.
