Applying the strings method as described in my last article, I decided to also take a look at /opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx/vpxa binary to see if there were anymore hidden goodies. To my surprise, I was able to locate additional HA and VPXA advanced configuration options. While going through and testing some of the HA advanced options, I found that only 19 out of 47 have not been documented and much of the documentation I found online was from Mr. Duncan Epping's blog. This really shows how open Duncan has been around the advanced options with VMware HA, if only VMware as a whole could be so open with the other advanced options that are used throughout VMware but left undocumented.
I do have to stress, these are configurations that are not documented and probably not supported unless directed by VMware. You should be very careful if you decide to play with some of these options and ensure you do not test on a production environment, don't say I did not warn you 🙂
