the already existing version works for ,,VMware Server (formely known as
GSX Server)'' while this version works for ,,VMware ESX Server''. These

The VMware API has named the variables that way, that's why I kept them.
However if necessary they can be renamed.

I agree. I took that part cut&paste from an example provided by VMware.

Other, than rebooting, no.
Let me know if you want to include it upstream, than I clean it up.
