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
