In ESX or ESXi4, use dmicode | grep -i "product name" to get the device type. But this command is not found in ESXi5. So how can i get the device type in ESXi5? Thanks.
The dmicode | grep -i "product name" result in ESX4.1 like follow:
[root@host22 ~]# dmidecode | grep -i "product name"
Product Name: CN21UPSA
Product Name: CN21UPSA
give a try with esxcfg-info command.
esxcfg-info -a | less
search with this output for serial number and product ID
