SYNOPSIS

esxcfg-advcfg OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

esxcfg-advcfg provides an interface to query and modify the advanced options of the VMkernel. These options control a wide variety of different areas in the VMkernel including storage, resource, and networking global settings.

OPTIONS

-g -get path: Get the value of a specific configuration item given its identifying path, and print the value to stdout.
-s -set value path: Set the value of a specific configuration item given its identifying path and the value to set. This may fail silently, if the value given is constrained by other options or VMkernel settings.
-d -default path: Set the value of a specific configuration item to the default value defined by the VMkernel.
-q -quiet: Perform any of the other options but suppress output to stdout.
-k -set-kernel value: Set a VMkernel boot parameter
-j -get-kernel: Get the value of a VMkernel boot parameter.
-h -help: Print a brief usage message.
-r -restore: Read the contents of the configuration file, and perform a set for each of the advanced options in the file.
