Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI – how to set energy settings on a VMware ESXi host
Sonntag, November 16th, 2025To set energy settings on a VMware ESXi host using Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI use the onecli.exe config set command with the appropriate UEFI or BMC setting name such as PowerPlatform.PowerBias or Processors.DeterminismSlider to adjust the power profile. You must run OneCLI from a Windows command prompt as an administrator with administrator privileges and have the necessary credentials to connect to the ESXi host
onecli.exe config set Processors.DeterminismSlider Power –esxi <userid>:<password>@<ESXiHostIP@>
Common Energy Settings
Processors.CStates (e.g., Legacy or Enabled)
Processors.CPUPstateControl (e.g., Legacy or Enabled)
Processors.TurboMode (e.g., Enabled or Disabled)
You may need to explore the specific setting names for your exact server model using onecli.exe config show command to list all available configuration options and their current values
onecli.exe config show –esxi <userid>:<password>@<ESXiHostIP@>
After changing a UEFI/BMC setting a server reboot is required for the changes to take effect
