Partition summary of an existing installation

Hi,

I'm trying to install our second ESX box to be as similar as possible to the first, but don't have access to the first's installation documentation. I do have access to VI Client and the machine itself, is there a way of getting a summary of all the installation partitions, their sizes, names etc?

Thanks for any responses.

Login to the console and execute the following command

vdf -h (tells you the file systems and their sizes)

fdisk -l (shows the swap space and the vmkcore partition)
