DESCRIPTION

The vicfg-advcfg command offers a number of low-level advanced options.
Most options are not intended for customer use. You might use this command when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
You can use the vicfg-advcfg -s option to enable and disable CIM providers.

OPTIONS

connection_options
Specifies the target server and authentication information if required. Run vicfg-advcfg --help for a list of all connection options.
--default | -d <option>
Sets the value of a specific configuration item to the default value defined by the VMkernel. Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--get | -g <config_option>
Gets the value of a configuration option based on its path, and print the value to stdout. Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--get-kernel | -j <boot_param>
Gets the value of a VMkernel boot parameter. Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--help
Prints a help message for each command-specific and each connection option. Calling the script with no arguments or with --help has the same effect.
--quiet | -q
No output to stdout while executing the command.
--set | -s <value> <option>
Sets the value of a configuration option based on its path. Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--set | -s 0|1 UserVars.CIMEnabled
Enables or disables all CIM providers.
--set | -s 0|1 UserVars.CIMOEMProvidersEnabled
Enables or disables OEM CIM providers.
--set | -s 0|1 UserVars.CIMCustomProvidersEnabled
Enables or disables IHV CIM providers.
--set-kernel | -k <value> <boot_param>
Sets the value of a VMkernel boot parameter. Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--set-message | -m <message>
Sets DCUI welcome message (valid for vSphere 4.0 and later). Use this option when VMware Technical Support or a VMware Knowledge Base article instruct you to do so.
--list | -l
Lists all VMkernel advanced config options.
--vihost | -h <esx_target<gt
>
When you execute a vSphere CLI with the --server option pointing to a vCenter Server System, you can use --vihost to specify the ESX/ESXi host to run the command against.

The following examples assume you are specifying connection options. Run vicfg-advcfg --help for a list of common options including connection options.
Set the value of a specific configuration item given its identifying path and the value to set:
 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> -s 1 VMkernel.Boot.xapicForce

 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> -g VMkernel.Boot.xapicForce
Set the value of a specific configuration item to the default value defined by the VMkernel:
 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> -d Irq.RoutingPolicy
Retrieve a VMkernel option:
 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> --get-kernel assumeCommonBusClock
Set a VMkernel option:
 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> --set-kernel 1 assumeCommonBusClock
Set a DCUI welcome message
 vicfg-advcfg <conn_options> --set-message "Welcome message"
