  • Virtual machines (VMs) must have virtual disk wiping disabled.

    Shrinking and wiping (erasing) a virtual disk reclaims unused space in it. If there is empty space in the disk, this process reduces the amount of space the virtual disk occupies on the host drive....

  • Virtual machines (VMs) must limit informational messages from the virtual machine to the VMX file.

    The configuration file containing these name-value pairs is limited to a size of 1MB. If not limited, VMware tools in the guest operating system are capable of sending a large and continuous data s...
