      <description>&lt;P&gt;I do not understand the level of or the response people receive when looking for answers. "Always get the typical response to a question" You should really try to searching for your answer prior to posting. Excuse me, but is this not the place to go looking for answers? Either way is this not what a vmware Technology Network forum is all about? If the question has already&amp;nbsp; been answered, why not simply add the link and reply? Maybe he/she did search and did not come up with the results they were looking for. The last thing I want is a belittling response to a question like "&lt;SPAN&gt;You should really try to search on your issues prior to posting." What is your vested interest here to respond like that. Are we really putting you out so much that a single statement response like....."here you are... I hope this helps. whether you work for vmware or not, that kind of answer is very off and I would probably not return to that site looking for help. If that is what you are going for then keep it up. Good job! Not everyone is as savy in searching the internet for an answer to a completely overly engineered undocumented program that changes without notification and more undocumented features than I would care to speak too. There was a time long ago that vmware engineers were happy to assist. if you are not a vmware engineer then do us all a favor and dont respond to questions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thank you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Alright, being a recent member of this forum, below is a list of articles which has helped me and can help you configuring a coredump&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;configuring coredump as a file (i feel this to be easy, use it in a vmfs based datastore)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2077516" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2077516&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;configuring coredump as a partition&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004299" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004299&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Recently I see that we are getting this warning from moving to 7.x from 6.7, have used the file method and was effective&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Although, if you have a USB of size 64 GB (in my opinion) or higher as a boot media, you can use it to store coredumps too&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;first Navigate to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Host &amp;gt; Advanced System Settings &amp;gt; Edit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;And set VMkernel.Boot.allowCoreDumpOnUsb to “True”&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;the boot option allowCoreDumpOnUsb=TRUE will also need to be set for it to be effective&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;reboot the host and while the boot process starts press shift+o and enter allowCoreDumpOnUsb=TRUE and then proceed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;please refer --&amp;gt; &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/77009" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/77009&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;once the host has booted successfully, you can verify with ---&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;esxcli system coredump partition get&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;to ensure you got a coredump configured&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Note: if you are using vSAN then its not recommended by VMware to configure coredump on it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2074026" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2074026&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As of now SD/USB as a boot device is getting removed as a boot device option refer--&amp;gt; &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/85685" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/85685&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;until 7.0 U2 d if you are booting from USB and want to store coredump there you can follow the above method&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;P.S. I hope this information helps the future folks visiting this thread in a hope to get their coredump configured, cheers &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@3CBC42A1E7848F607FD419D398107BF9/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Srijith&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It is certainly recommended that you have a core dump target configured, especially for Production systems. However, if you wish to suppress the warning, there is an ESXi Advance Setting which you can toggle called &lt;STRONG&gt;UserVars.SuppressCoredumpWarning &lt;/STRONG&gt;(can be configure using Embedded ESXi Host Client or vSphere UI in vCenter Server) as well as ESXCLI. Below is the command to suppress the warning:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="csharp"&gt;esxcli system settings advanced set -o /UserVars/SuppressCoredumpWarning -i 1&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am having the same issue, and read it.&amp;nbsp; It was not helpful.&amp;nbsp; That person that responded was a jerk and not helpful.&amp;nbsp; unfortunately it is now the stand response you get from VMWare....&lt;/P&gt;</description>
