Table of all vmkernel error codes in ESXi 6.5

vmkerrcode utility displays a table of all VMkernel errors, a brief description, and the corresponding error codes in both decimal and hexadecimal format. This utility was added in ESX 3.0.2
How to use it:-
1. Connect with ESXi Shell (Local or through SSH)
2. Run this command:-
vmkerrcode -l
3. You will get the output like this:-
