Disabling HotPlug

[pmerkel]

Has anyone created a script yet to add the configuration parameter "devices.hotplug" with the value of "false". This is to fix the issue in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1012225

I have several hundred vms to set this paramter for since the users seem to like to remove the NICs themselves for some reason. Just looking for the 1 liner needed to add that parameter.

thanks

Yes, here is vSphere SDK for Perl solution -

I'm sure there is a PowerCLI equivalent, you may want to post in the PowerCLI community if you're looking for a Windows solution.

Thanks for the info, I will also try the powercli blog to see if I can get it to work there as well.
