Configuration

/etc/vmware/esx.conf stores much of the configuration for both ESX and ESXi hosts. It wouldn't be a bad idea to capture snapshots of this file on a monthly or quarterly basis to discover unknown changes to the infrastructure. The 'diff' command will reveal the difference between two file versions. For example:

diff /etc/vmware/esx.conf /etc/vmware/esx.conf.old
