Command to identify which ISO Image was used for installing ESXi

Hi All,

  Thanks for looking into my query below.

  There was a command I remembered that tells which ISO Image was used during the ESXi Install time if any of you have it can you please share it.

  Reason for above is - in some vendors they have their own customer ESXi Image and I often see customers use different ISO Image rather than dedicated assigned ISO Image (vendor specific).

Regards,
S Pavan Kumar

S Pavan Kumar,

You can find it in the Summary tab for the ESXi host under the Configuration window:

Hi Larstr,

Looks like in your lab you are using Image Profile in that case this will be helpful but in most of the environments Image profile will not be used in that case the one you shared will not display.

I got one command esxcli software profile get

There is another command which exactly tells which ISO Image was used to install ESXi.

Thanks

PS: It looks like you found the command just before I posted my reply 😉
