Refer to the comment section in the /kernel/drv/bfa.conf file on your system for an example.
Storage driver-level parameters
The driver-level configuration parameters are global parameters used by all storage driver
instances. The default values for the driver configuration parameters are compiled into the driver.
NOTE
These parameters are should only be changed by power users with great caution.

• VMware - /etc/vmware/esx.conf
Table 34 describes the Linux and VMware configuration parameters.
