    I did it but It can't show me information about Memory Brand and Serials. For example, show me :

    Manufacturer: Manufacturer0

    Serial Number: SerNum0

    This command show me Motherboard and CPU Brand and Serial but not Ram :smileysad:

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, I don't have any running ESXi 4.1 in my lab or infrastructure. But, please give a try with "smbiosDump | less" .  This has to work. The letters are case sensitive, so please type the command like it is. Scroll down to find the Physical Memory Array, if it works. You may find the details needed.

    Thanks,

    Ram.

    Hi,

    I've created an ESXi 4.1 on my lab and it's giving me the desired output. smbiosDump is working for me.

    If you're using an ESXi version 5.x , please type smbiosDump | less . You'll find the ESXi RAM details you're looking for.
