Advanced Attributes
You can set advanced attributes for hosts or individual virtual machines to help you customize resource
management.
In most cases, adjusting the basic resource allocation settings (reservation, limit, shares) or accepting default
settings results in appropriate resource allocation. However, you can use advanced attributes to customize
resource management for a host or a specific virtual machine.
Set Advanced Host Attributes
You can set advanced attributes for a host.
CAUTION Changing advanced options is considered unsupported unless VMware technical support or a KB
article instruct you to do so. In all other cases, changing these options is considered unsupported. In most
cases, the default settings produce the optimum result.
