Description: Has the vmkernel been loaded? (yes/no)
What is vmkLoaded?
A legacy yes/no string indicating whether the VMkernel (the classic ESX hypervisor core) was loaded on the host. This object is marked obsolete, having been carried over from early ESX-era MIBs superseded by newer VMware management interfaces.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmkLoaded
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmkLoaded.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmkLoaded OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any legacy VMware ESX hosts (deprecated per-VM CPU/memory OID compatibility mapping, no longer authoritative) from a single console.
