It’s a bit tricky to find, but the API reference showed me where to look. And now I’m posting it here, so you don’t have to search any further.
First, connect to the Option Manager:
$SI = Get-View $ServiceInstance
$OM = Get-View $SI.Content.Setting
Query current values of advanced options:
$OM.QueryOptions(‘ADV_OPTION_NAME’)
To change or add an advanced option:
Create a new object to hold the new settings.
$newOption = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
Set the Key and Value you would like to add or change.
$newOption.Key = ‘ADV_OPTION_NAME’
$newOption.Value = 300
Use the UpdateOptions method to execute the change.
$OM.UpdateOptions($newOption)
Tadaa! :)
