Properties

Name	Type	Description
disableAcceleration*	xsd:boolean	Flag to turn off video acceleration for a virtual machine console window.
diskUuidEnabled*	xsd:boolean	Indicates whether disk UUIDs are being used by this virtual machine. If this flag is set to false, disk UUIDs are not exposed to the guest. Since products before ESX 3.1 do not support disk UUIDs, moving virtual machines from a platform that supports UUID to a platform that does not support UUIDs could result in unspecified guest behavior. For virtual machines where the ability to move to older platforms is important, this flag should be set to false. If the value is unset, the behavior 'false' will be used. *Since* VI API 2.5
enableLogging*	xsd:boolean	Flag to enable logging for a virtual machine.
htSharing*	xsd:string	Specifies how the VCPUs of a virtual machine are allowed to share physical cores on a hyperthreaded system. Two VCPUs are "sharing" a core if they are both running on logical CPUs of the core at the same time. See VirtualMachineHtSharing
monitorType*	xsd:string	Virtual machine monitor type. See VirtualMachineFlagInfoMonitorType for possible values for this property. *Since* VI API 2.5
runWithDebugInfo*	xsd:boolean	Deprecated. As of VI API 2.5, use monitorType. Flag to specify whether or not to run in debug mode.
snapshotDisabled*	xsd:boolean	Flag to specify whether snapshots are disabled for this virtual machine. *Since* VI API 2.5
snapshotLocked*	xsd:boolean	Flag to specify whether the snapshot tree is locked for this virtual machine. *Since* VI API 2.5
snapshotPowerOffBehavior*	xsd:string	Specifies the power-off behavior for a virtual machine that has a snapshot. If the value is unset, the behavior 'powerOff' will be used. See VirtualMachinePowerOffBehavior *Since* VI API 2.5
useToe*	xsd:boolean	Flag to specify whether or not to use TOE (TCP/IP Offloading).
virtualMmuUsage*	xsd:string	Indicates whether or not the system will try to use nested page table hardware support, if available. By default, VMware software will determine whether or not to use nested page table hardware support based on various factors such as the guest operating system type and the physical hardware. Certain workloads can benefit from explicitly turning nested page table hardware support on or off; this can be set using nptUsage flag. If the value is unset, the value will default to automatic. VirtualMachineFlagInfoVirtualMmuUsage represents the set of possible values. *Since* VI API 2.5
