How can i get the device type in ESXi5?

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
