Retrieving Hardware
Information
Commands in
different ESXCLI namespaces might display some hardware information, but the
esxcli
hardware
namespace is specifically intended to give you that
information. The namespace includes commands for getting and setting CPU
properties, for listing boot devices, and for getting and setting the hardware
clock time.
You can also use the
ipmi
namespace to retrieve IPMI system event logs (SEL) and sensor data records
(SDR). The command supports both
get
(single return value) and
list
(multiple return values) commands and returns raw sensor information.
See the
vCLI Reference
or
the ESXCLI online help for details.
