Issue/Introduction

In the vCenter UI, when you select an ESXi host and navigate to Configure tab → System→ Advanced System Settings, the Advanced system settings are represented as key value pairs, with the Key identifying the name of the configuration on the host. However, the key names do not necessarily have an exact match with the configuration representation in vSphere Configuration Profiles.

For example, in the ESXi Advanced Settings UI, welcome message for an ESXi host is represented as Annotations.WelcomeMessage

While in vSphere Configuration Profiles UI, the same setting is present under esx → system → welcome_message.

Environment

VMware VCF 9.x

VMware vCenter Server 9.x

Cause

This document provides a comprehensive mapping that links the ESXi advanced system settings names to their equivalent configurations within vSphere Configuration Profiles to ensure consistency and clarity during configuration management.
