Virtual Machine Options Flashcards
General Options
Settings include virtual machine name, configuration file location, and the working directory location.
Encryption Options
Settings allow you to enable or disable virtual machine encryption or vMotion encryption.
Power Management
Settings allow you to choose how to respond when the guest OS is placed on standby. The choices are to suspend the virtual machine or put the guest OS into standby mode.
VMware Tools
Settings allow you to choose how to respond to specific power operations. For example, you can choose whether to power off the virtual machine or shut down the guest when the red power-off button is clicked.
Virtualization Based Security (VBS)
For virtual machines running the modern Windows OS versions, you can enable VBS to add an extra level of protection.
Boot Options
Settings include firmware, boot delay, and failed boot recovery parameters.
Advanced Options
Settings include logging, debugging, swap file location, and configuration parameters.
Fibre Channel NPIV
Settings allow the virtual machine to use N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), including whether to generate new worldwide names (WWNs).
vApp Options
Settings allow you to control vApp functionality for the virtual machine, such as enable/disable and IP allocation policy. vApp settings that are made directly to a virtual machine override settings made on the vApp.
