Quick Tip - Suppress new core dump warning in ESXi 7.0

05.04.2020 by William Lam // 5 Comments

You may have noticed new warning message after installing ESXi 7.0, this can happen if your ESXi installation is on a smaller local disk (Nested ESXi Appliance would also be affected) which does not have enough capacity for setting up a core dump target or if ESXi is booting from USB which also does not support core dumps by default.

No coredump target has been configured. Host core dumps cannot be saved.


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 UserVars.SuppressCoredumpWarning (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:

esxcli system settings advanced set -o /UserVars/SuppressCoredumpWarning -i 1

    I'm missing what's new about this in 7...? That warning has been around for several versions with the same solution to suppress it.

    I was wondering is this possible using the get-esxcli command?

    Just thought I'd drop this here for anyone else looking for a quicker way with PowerCLI since no results in Google come up for it. The below will do this for every ESXi host in your vCenter. You could narrow this down to cluster (Get-Cluster) or specify a specific host.

    Get-VMHost | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name UserVars.SuppressCoredumpWarning | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value 1 -Confirm:$false
