Hello guys. Sometimes we need to check what kind of hardware we have on our Servers or PCs. With windows it's easy we can install some software and look there, what CPU or RAM is installed, what frequency or speed they have and so on. When we have installed ESXi on server, we can find host hardware configuration with Vsphere or web access, but there is few information. For see more about hardware, there we need look on CLI. For this first time we need enable SSH, if it's not already enabled. We will talk based on ESXi Version 6.5.0 For enable SSH, go to web access, go to Host tab, Actions, Services and Enable Secure Shell (SSH). Then you need some SSH connection tool, e.g. putty or what you love. Add your ESXi host name or IP address, check SSH and connect. Enter root user name and password. After this you need to enter: cd /sbin smbiosDump | more You will get detailed information about you hardware - CPU, RAM, BIOS, Motherboard, etc.
