module: vmware_host_hyperthreading
short_description: Enables/Disables Hyperthreading optimization for an ESXi host system
description:
- This module can be used to enable or disable Hyperthreading optimization for ESXi host systems in given vCenter infrastructure.
- It also checks if Hyperthreading is activated/deactivated and if the host needs to be restarted.
- The module informs the user if Hyperthreading is enabled but inactive because the processor is vulnerable to L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF).
version_added: 2.8
author:
- Christian Kotte (@ckotte)
notes:
- Tested on vSphere 6.5
requirements:
- python >= 2.6
- PyVmomi
options:
state:
description:
- Enable or disable Hyperthreading.
- You need to reboot the ESXi host if you change the configuration.
- Make sure that Hyperthreading is enabled in the BIOS. Otherwise, it will be enabled, but never activated.
type: str
choices: [ enabled, disabled ]
default: 'enabled'
esxi_hostname:
description:
- Name of the host system to work with.
- This parameter is required if C(cluster_name) is not specified.
type: str
cluster_name:
description:
- Name of the cluster from which all host systems will be used.
- This parameter is required if C(esxi_hostname) is not specified.
