The esxcli system module command
supports setting and retrieving VMkernel module options. 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 ESXCLI Host Management Commands
in place of <conn_options>.
Procedure
-
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.
- (Optional)
List all enabled or
loaded modules.
esxcli <conn_options> system module list --enabled=true
esxcli <conn_options> system module list --loaded=true
-
Enable the module.
esxcli <conn_options> system module set --module=<module_name> --enabled=true
-
Set the parameter.
esxcli system module parameters set --module=<module_name> --parameter-string=<parameter_string>
-
Verify that the module
is configured.
esxcli <conn_options> system module parameters list --module=<module_name>
