vSphere / esxi 5.1
Does anyone know where in the host profile the memory sharing setting between VMs is set?
I've disabled salting after it was put in in a patch last year, but now my cluster is complaining about being non compliant and I can't find the setting in the host profile.
Anyone help me out?
Are you looking for Mem.ShareForceSalting in the host profile. That allows to set the salt value.
The current value can be found out by esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Mem/ShareForceSalting . I assume that you want to change it to 1 ( default is 2)
You can change this through host profile by edit profile ---> Advanced configuration Option ---> Right Clik ----> Add Profile . A new profile with OptionProfile will be created on the bottom of that leaf.
Expand OptionProfile ---> Advanced Option ---> Select " configure a fixed option"
On the first box enter Mem.ShareForceSalting and on the second box enter value 1 ( I changed the salt value from 2 ( default ) to 1)
Then follow the standard process of attaching and applying profile

Thanks Techie01, That was just what I was looking for. I didn't realize I needed to add a new setting. Seems strange that the profile compliance can fail against a setting that does not exist in the profile!
