esxcfg-module "enable" "disable" not present

[JasonFSVM]

I'm trying to disable a module using esxcfg-module, but the "enable" and "disable" parameters are not present.  I'm connecting to this host through the VMA, and the host is running ESXI 4.1.0 build 433742.  Any help is appreciated.

Enable/disable options in VMA or vCLI are not available options for esxcli-module (vicfg-module), unless something has changed.

With that said, then how do I disable a driver?  Everything I've seen online says to use "esxcfg-module"

looks like enable and disable switches are not available for esxcfg-module and vicfg-module.

we should ssh to the host and execute the command directly.

~ # esxcfg-module --help

Usage: esxcfg-module <options> <module>

   -g|--get-options              Get the options for a given module and whether it is loaded on boot.

   -s|--set-options              Set the options for a given module.

                                 WARNING this may be overwritten by per device options.

   -e|--enable                   Enable a given module, indicating it should be loaded on boot.

   -d|--disable                  Disable a given module, indicating it should not be loaded on boot.

Have you tried running the command on the host directly either SSH or on console

You have to do it directly at the host console or over an SSH session.... sorry... I just assumed you knew that and were trying to make a go at it remotely .
