Manage Modules with esxcli system module

Not all VMkernel modules have settable module options.

The following example illustrates how to examine and enable a VMkernel module. Specify one of the connection options listed in Connection Options for vCLI Host Management Commands in place of <conn_options>.

Procedure

1. List information about the module.

   esxcli <conn_options> system module list --module=module_name

   The system returns the name, type, value, and description of the module.
2. (Optional) List all enabled or loaded modules.

   esxcli <conn_options> system module list --enabled=true
   esxcli <conn_options> system module list --loaded=true

3. Enable the model.

   esxcli <conn_options> system module set --module=module_name --enabled=true

4. Set the parameter.

   esxcli system module parameters set --module=module_name --parameter-string="parameter_string"

5. Verify that the module is configured.

   esxcli <conn_options> system module parameters list --module=module_name
