Console Operating System and VMkernel

Loading and Unloading the VMkernel
The VMkernel Loader
The program 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 fails.
If the unload option (-u) is specified, 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. If
the force option is specified (-f), vmkloader unloads the VMkernel even if there is a
virtual machine running.
If you have a SCSI adapter or RAID controller shared between the console operating
system and the virtual machines, you cannot unload the VMkernel.
Options
-f
Unload the VMkernel even if a virtual machine is currently running on it.
-n <num>
Force the VMkernel and all virtual machines to run on only <num> processors, even if
the physical machine has more than <num> processors.
-s
Force the VMkernel and all virtual machines to run on only a single processor, even if
the physical machine is a multiprocessor computer. This is the same as specifying the
option -n 1.
-u
Unload the VMkernel
Example Uses of vmkloader
The following are some example uses of vmkloader.
vmkloader /usr/lib/vmware/vmkernel
loads the VMkernel binary /usr/lib/vmware/vmkernel.
vmkloader -u
