VMware ESX Server 3.0.1 CPU Information

[SS_Wbush]

Afternoon,

I am currently collating information for multiple ESX Hosts running ESX Server 3.0.1.xxxxx

I was wondering if rather than using the VIC 2.0.1 GUI if there was an easier way to collect information for a datacentre using the service console. If anybody has any relevant commands to collate CPU information using the service console please let me know as they would be extremely helpful

Also does anybody have any information in regards to the upgrade path from ESX Server 3.0.1.xxxxx to ESX Server 3.5

Finally does anybody have any information on the upgrade path from VIC 2.0.1 to VIC 2.5

Any information will be gladly recieved

Thanks

Will

what cpu info? you can grab the model from here

esxcfg-info | grep CPU

and just grep for more specific lines as you need them

to store in one place just redirect the output to some shared storege like you template lun or so

esxcfg-info | grep CPU >> ...../Templates/cpuinfo.txt

Upgrade guide should give you plenty of info on the other questions

Thanks

Just ran the grep | CPU command and only Total & Reserved CPU stats are shown (see below)

Is there a grep | command to diaply processor information such as processor type, number of cores etc?

\==+CPU Allocation :

|----Total CPU..........................................5586

|----Reserved CPU.......................................838

\==+CPU Stats :

\==+CPU Load History :

\==+CPU Allocation :

|----Total CPU....................................0

|----Reserved CPU.................................0

\==+CPU Stats :

\==+CPU Load History :

\==+CPU Allocation :

|----Total CPU....................................5445

|----Reserved CPU.................................530
