Description

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to set values in UserVars using Pyvmomi?
Like UserVars.SuppressShellWarning.
I’m trying to suppress the Shell Warning via Pyvmomi and set the other values in UserVars.
I can retrieve the value by retrieving for example:
host.configManager.advancedOption.setting[876].value
This gives me the value 0 but I can’t set it to 1.
Does somebody know how to set the value?

I've found some samples online such as: http://mighty-virtualization.blogspot.de/2012_10_01_archive.html?m=0

But I don't know how to translate this into working code with Pyvmomi
Please help

Regards
