Uservars.ESXiShellInteractiveTimeOut & Uservars.ESXiShellTimeOut



  • By Default, both the parameters have a default value as:-

    i) UserVars.ESXiShellTimeOut =0
    ii) UserVars.ESXiShellInteractiveTimeOut=0

    Value 0 means, it is disable
  • But if you are in production and had some urgent maintenance or activity enabling SSH & its timeout value could be cumbersome.
  • If you have different values as per your environment, you can change the value to 0.




  • $Compute_Cluster = Get-Cluster -Name Compute | Get-VMHost
    $Compute_Cluster | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name UserVars.ESXiShellTimeOut  | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value 0
    $Compute_Cluster | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name UserVars.ESXiShellInteractiveTimeOut  | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value 0
