Is it possible to give busybox, the hidden console, in ESX4i more memory? How about more CPU resources?
How can I do this from the VI Client?
thanks,

You can tweak some of the settings in Configuration > Software > System Resource Allocation (click Advanced). Some of the settings are fixed. For example the root directory for the memory file system is set to 32 MB and only takes a value of 0 to 32.
What sort of problem are you experiencing that would require a resource change?

Why would you want to do that?

I want to run scripts in the hidden console. I realize this is probably not a supported thing to do. I did notice a major performance hit when I compared how long it took the same script to run in the ESX server compared to the ESXi server. I was looking for a way to increase the system resources (memory most likely) to speed things up.
thanks

Would you know which parts of the script are running slowly?
Ideally you would look at migrating the scripts to the vCLI or PowerCLI.
