Hi all,
I would like to fetch the information available from health status of ESXi host .
Configuration --> Hardware --> Health Status
Need to fetch hard disk size, raid level of local harddisk, BMC firmware version etc.
Please advice how to fetch the same using powercli.
For the health state, did you already check this one 20. Re: checking esxi hardware for problems using powercli

Hi LucD,
Thanks for your reply.
I think i need to be more detailed.
Actually my requirement is not to fetch the health status,
but would like to get the BIOS version, BMC firmware version, number of physical harddisks, and what raid level is configured for the DAS disk of that host.
I could see those info in the Hardware section, but not sure how to fetch it.
Hi LucD,
With help of your post, am able to get the BIos and BMC firmware information.
But unable to fetch the local harddisk information and its raid level.
Please help
Can't you get that info with one of the methods is gave in 1. Re: Host Server power Management and processor options to be fetched ?
Sorry, no HP HW at my disposition, can't try it out.

Hi Luc,
No, unable to use those.
1) we cannot use plink.exe in our environment as it is against compliance
2) HPILO cmdlets are only for windows OS, i guess.. as per the statement given in the link shared by you.
Is there a possibility to find just the local harddisks and its size alone.
( local harddisk before creating raid. and not the local harddisk datastore size)
Hi,
Finally am able to get the list of physical drives only using the below command,
/opt/hp/hpssacli/bin # ./hpssacli controller slot=0 physicaldrive all show
This gives the output when i login via putty.
But thing is that, i need to run this via powercli.
Is there a possibility to run this command via powercli.
You can do that via plink.exe, see a sample script in 6. Re: Restart Service Script ?
