To Enable CBT on VSphere 5.0 follow these steps:
power off the virtual machine before performing these steps. |
Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings. | |
Click the Options tab. | |
Click General under the Advanced section and then click Configuration Parameters. The Configuration Parameters dialog opens. | |
Click Add Row. | |
Add the ctkEnabled parameter and then set its value to true. | |
Click Add Row, add scsi0:0.ctkEnabled, and set its value to true. |
Note: scsi0:0 in scsi0:0.ctkEnabled indicates the SCSI device assigned to the hard disk that is added to the virtual machine. Every hard disk added to the virtual machine is given a SCSI device that appears similar to scsi0:0, scsi0:1, or scsi 1:1. |
In the home directory of the virtual machine, verify that each hard disk contains a vmname-ctk.vmdk file. |
