How to get esx update version?

[nava_thulasi39]

Hi,

It's easy to get the esx version & build number.

I am using esxupate query command in the service console to get the update version.

But is there any way to get the minor version number (eg Update1, Update2) except esxupate query service console command

Using the VI Client you should be able to get the build number which will take you to the Update level -

Hello.

The command vmware -v will get you the build number which can be referened against the VMware Patch site.

You can also try esxupdate query | grep "Update " to find the Update number.

Good Luck!

Thanks.

Any one liner using Powercli?

Note: This discussion was moved from the  VI: VMware ESX 3.5 community to the Automation Tools community, since the question went the PowerCLI route.
