Module parameters

Using module parameters

The following table describes the module parameters you can set using the esxcfg-module command.
The remote option (--server) is only required for the vCLI.
Sample command:
esxcfg-module --server <server-name> iomemory-vsl -s '<parameter>=<value>'
You must reboot the ESX or ESXi system to enforce any parameter changes.
