How should a vSphere administrator disable memory compression?
A.
Attach a vSphere Client to an ESXi host and edit the Mem.MemZipEnable advanced setting.
B.
Connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere Client and edit the virtual machine. Insert the
Mem.MemZipDisable option and set the value to True.
C.
Connect a vSphere Client to vCenter Server and configure the Memory Compression setting from
the Administration menu.
D.
Reboot the ESXi host and disable memory compression in the BIOS under Advanced Settings.
This question is outdated. No longer have to connect client directly to ESXi host.
Updated instructions for 5.5 via vSphere Web Client are here: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-5C15EF96-FE31-4DF8-90B4-3E14CEFA6EE3.html
The question says “Attach a vSphere Client to an ESXi host”…. and with the 5.5 you can use vSphere Client to connect to hosts.
So the question is still valid.
