In Abiquo 1.8 the old XML configuration files were removed and migrated to a system based on Java properties. This improves the flexibility and ease of configuration.
Now all configuration options are grouped in the /opt/abiquo/config/abiquo.properties files. These files are only required if you wish to modify any of the default configuration options provided by Abiquo and you only need to specify the options that you wish to modify. Below is an explanation of all the configuration options that can be modified with their default values as set by Abiquo.
After modifying this file, you must restart the abiquo-tomcat service for the changes to take effect (e.g. service abiquo-tomcat restart).
 | New Properties in Version 1.8.5-HF2 The optional esxi.diskController.primary and esxi.diskController.secondary properties allow you to specify the disk controllers used for virtual machines in ESX/i hypervisors. |
| New Properties in Version 1.8.5-HF3 The optional abiquo.dvs.portgroup.loadsharingmechanism and abiquo.dvs.portgroup.maxsize properties allow you to specify adapter teaming policy and the maximum number of available ports used for the distributed virtual switch. |
| New Properties in Version 1.8.5-HF4 The optional abiquo.vncport.min and abiquo.vncport.max properties allow you to specify the range of ports to be allocated to virtual machines for VNC. |
 | DVS vCenter User and Password Properties in vCenter Communications The DVS vCenter user and password properties are now used for any vCenter communications and are useful for deleting orphans. |
