  • SRG-OS-000480-VMM-002000

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

    Shrinking 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. Normal users and pro...

    Group
  • 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 console sharing.

    By default, more than one user at a time can connect to remote console sessions. When multiple sessions are activated, each terminal window receives a notification about the new session. If an admi...

    Group
  • 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...

    Group
  • Virtual machines (VMs) must not be able to obtain host information from the hypervisor.

    If enabled, a VM can obtain detailed information about the physical host. The default value for the parameter is FALSE. This setting should not be TRUE unless a particular VM requires this informat...

    Group
  • Virtual machines (VMs) must have shared salt values disabled.

    When salting is enabled (Mem.ShareForceSalting=1 or 2) to share a page between two virtual machines, both salt and the content of the page must be same. A salt value is a configurable advanced opti...
