There are multiple disk controllers available.  When should each be used? what are the advantages? dis advantages?

how can you add/remote/manipulate VMDKs.  Recover a VMDK?  Copy?  RDM?  Independent mode? walk snapshots?  linked clones?

what settings are available for the vmx and why/when would you need them?  keyboard.typematicmindelay?  disable/enable copy/paste,  change CPU masking, change HW version.  Fix snapshot links.  Check replication settings.

Recreate a corrupt vmx
