<title>Additional VMX Settings</title>
|
|
<para>A VMX (.vmx) file is the primary configuration file for a virtual machine. When a new VM is
|
|
created, information on the operating system, disk sizes, and networking is stored in this file.
|
|
The VM actively writes to its .vmx file for all the configuration changes. The VMX file is
|
|
typically located in the directory where the VM is created. In Windows Vista / Windows 7 /
|
|
Windows Server 2008, the default location is C:\Users\<your_user_name>\My
|
|
Documents\Virtual Machines\<virtual_machine_name>.vmx. In Linux, vmware-cmd -l lists the
|
|
full path to all the registered VMX files. Any manual additions to the .vmx file from ESX/ESXi
|
|
are overwritten by the entries stored in the vCenter Server database. Therefore, before you edit
|
|
a .vmx file, first remove the VM from the vCenter server's inventory and register the VM again
|
|
after editing.</para>
|
|
<para>The CloudStack API that supports passing some of the VMX settings is registerTemplate. The
|
|
supported parameters are rootDiskController, nicAdapter, and keyboard. In addition to these
|
|
existing VMX parameters, you can now use the keyboard.typematicMinDelay parameter in the
|
|
registerTemplate API call. This parameter controls the amount of delay for the repeated key
|
|
strokes on remote consoles. For more information on keyboard.typematicMinDelay, see <ulink
