List host's modified advanced settings via ESXCLI
06 Feb 2015Just wanted to share a great tip by Ather Beg on how to display all of ESXi host’s advanced settings which are different than the default values via ESXCLI:
esxcli system settings advanced list -d
This will return a list of advanced settings similar to:
...
Path: /Net/TcpipHeapSize
Type: integer
Int Value: 32
Default Int Value: 0
Min Value: 0
Max Value: 32
String Value:
Default String Value:
Valid Characters:
Description: Initial size of the tcpip module heap in megabytes. (REQUIRES REBOOT!)
Path: /NFS/MaxVolumes
Type: integer
Int Value: 256
Default Int Value: 8
Min Value: 8
Max Value: 256
String Value:
Default String Value:
Valid Characters:
Description: Maximum number of mounted NFS volumes. TCP/IP heap must be increased accordingly (Requires reboot)
...
where Int Value / String Value (depending whether the parameter stores its value as integer or string) shows the current value for the parameter, while Default Int Value / Default String Value show its default value.
