Thanks LucD, Ok got it, so it will just let me know if enabled/disabled ..

I got a fuction which can enable it ..

Function Enable-MemHotAdd($vm){

    $vmview = Get-vm $vm | Get-View

    $vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

    $extra = New-Object VMware.Vim.optionvalue

    $extra.Key="mem.hotadd"

    $extra.Value="true"

    $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig += $extra

    $vmview.ReconfigVM($vmConfigSpec)

}

Any better way than this ?

Thanks,

No, since there is no cmdlet for this, you'll have to do it trough an API method.
