WARNING: This is for education/informational
testing/development purposes only, and should not be used on a production
server.
WARNING: This trick will only work with an ESX(i) stand alone server. It will not work if the ESX(i) server is connected to a vCenter Server, as the vCenter Server knows better than to let you do this. (you can always remove and re add the ESX(i) server to vCenter.)
