NAME

vmkloader - VMkernel loader

SYNOPSIS

vmkloader OPTIONS VMKERNEL-BINARY

COPYRIGHT

DESCRIPTION

vmkloader loads or unloads the VMkernel. With no flags, it loads the VMkernel specified by VMKERNEL-BINARY. If the VMkernel is already loaded, the load will fail.

OPTIONS

-f

When specified with -u, forces VMkernel unload even if a virtual
machine is currently running on it.

-u

    Unload the VMkernel. The VMKERNEL-BINARY argument is ignored and the
    VMkernel is unloaded as long as no virtual machines are currently
    running on the VMkernel. If there are virtual machines running, then
    the unload fails.

EXAMPLES

vmkloader /usr/lib/vmware/vmkernel

loads the VMkernel binary /usr/lib/vmware/vmkernel.

vmkloader -u

unloads the VMkernel if there are no virtual machines running.

vmkloader -uf

unloads the VMkernel even if there are virtual machines running.
