esxcfg-module command to delete modules

Ok, i have a boss who tries to find every possible way to get the performance to the max but mostly i am good about it and not run the commands until investigating them properly.. This one slipped.

I ran a command esxcfg-module -s ql2maqxdepth=64 qla2300_707

and then to clean it up i try running esxcfg-module -d qla3200_707

Now i have two devives listed that has no purpose and would like to know how to remove them from the list (esxcfg-module -l). Thanks

what does esxcfg-module -q return?

The command to unload the module would be vmkload_mod -u "name of module" but this may remove both. Is the server a live production

qla2300_707 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

qla3200_707 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

Even though after running esxcfg-module -u qla2300_707, I get a message saying that it was successful... but it is still listed.

esxcfg-module -q lists all the devices along with the one below...

-> qla2300_707.o ql2xmaxqdepth=64
