monitor_control
dangerous - may affect performance |
|
| monitor_control.virtual_rdtsc = "false" |
This should turn off TSC virtualisation |
| monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"
|
if you want to run VMware inside a VM you will
need this
setting this may cheat any program that scans for the
VMware-backdoor channel like Ken Katos vmchk.exe
It is NOT enough to cheat advanced VM-scanning methods like redpill
or scoopy |
| monitor_control.enable_extended_svm =
"true" |

CPUs |
| monitor_control.vt32 = "true" |
required to run ESX inside a VM- use with Intel

| monitor_control.disable_apic = "true" |
some older versions of FreeBSD needed this entry
to install
- no longer necessary |

sorry folks - this is mostly unknown area to me - thanks Oliver
for explanations

sched.cpu.affinity = "2,3"

|
specify the CPU affinity for a VM
defaults to "all", all is the same as adding all core
numbers (counting starts with 0) |
| sched.cpu.shares = "3158"
sched.cpu.shares = "normal"
|
number of CPU shares |
| sched.cpu.min = "0"

CPU reservation |
| sched.cpu.max = "1400"

number of memory shares |
| sched.mem.maxmemctl
|
ESX - specific ? |
| sched.mem.minsize = "0"
|
memory reservation for a VM if this
equals sched.mem.max or the configured memory size paging for the
VM is disabled setting this also disables page sharing |
| sched.mem.max = "384"
sched.mem.max = "unlimited"
|
max memory allowed for the VM not
useful since this is determined by the VM memory setting |
