VMware vCenter host and cluster properties table

abiquo.dvs.portgroup.loadsharingmechanism

Network adapter teaming policy for DVS port groups. This property controls the algorithm used for network adapter load balancing when multiple NICs are used in 'teaming mode'.
Valid values: loadbalance_ip, loadbalance_srcid
Default: loadbalance_ip

RS

abiquo.dvs.portgroup.maxsize

Number of available ports in each port group.
Default: 48

RS

abiquo.esxi.cloudinit.sata

For the CD device used by cloud-init, if this property is true, use the SATA disk controller. If not specified or false, use IDE

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.clusterdatastore.atleastone

If true, the cluster plugin will return datastores that are properly mounted on at least one host in the cluster. If false, the cluster plugin will only return datastores that are accessible and readwrite on all the hosts they are mounted on.
Default: false

RS

abiquo.esxi.datastoreRdm

Deprecated

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.discovery.datastore.ignorebyname

If specified, filter datastores by name. For the filtered datastores, Abiquo will not check if the datastores are mounted or the Abiquo folder UUID. For example, 'some.*' will discard any datastore starting with 'some', and '.*some.*' will discard any datastore containing 'some'. Comma separated list of Java patterns.

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.discovery.isoSizeSkip

If true, do not report size or capacity for ISO disks. The default value was changed to true in 6.1.2.
Default: true

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.discovery.networkinterface.networks

Set this property to only use physical network interfaces connected to the specified networks when adding vCenter hosts or clusters. If ''onlymanagementip'' is true, then first check for IPs (management or not) in the specified networks and if none are found, use onlymanagementip filter. The property is a comma separated list of networks in CIDR format, in priority order

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.discovery.networkinterface.onlymanagementip

If true, only use virtual NICs of the host that are configured for management traffic.
Default: false

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.disk.enableuuid

Present Disk UUID as SCSI serial number in the guest OS
Default: true

RS

abiquo.esxi.metrics.{metric}

On ESXi, to prevent Abiquo from retrieving metrics, set the property to false for each metric you do not want to retrieve. After you change these properties, restart the Monitor Manager (VSM) remote service for the changes to take effect.
Valid values: true, false
Default: true

API

abiquo.esxi.metricsid.{metric}

On ESXi, to support dynamic metric IDs, set a value to override the default metric ID as given in the table in Abiquo documentation on Override IDs of ESXi metrics. Contact Abiquo Support for more information about how to determine the required metric IDs._

RS

abiquo.esxi.scsicontroller

Default VirtualSCSIController implementation when diskController is not specified.
Valid values: lsilogic, paravirtual, bus, sas
Default: lsilogic

RS

com.abiquo.esxi.webmks.proxypath

When ''com.abiquo.esxi.webmks'' is true (enabled), this property defines the path to a websocket proxy to avoid direct connection to ESXi hosts. You can configure a different value for each datacenter on its Remote Services server. The default of no value means the UI will attempt to connect directly to ESXi hosts.

RS

abiquo.instance.targetDiskFormatType.{plugin}

• vmx_04

RS

abiquo.virtualfactory.{plugin}.openSession.byvdc

• vcenter_cluster

• vmx_04

If true, the maximum number of simultaneous operations apply to a single virtualdatacenter (instead of single hypervisor), by type. The default value is the value of abiquo.virtualfactory.openSession.byvdc
Default: false

RS

abiquo.virtualfactory.{plugin}.openSession.faststatechanges

• vcenter_cluster

• vmx_04
