Get Physiclal CPU info (Sockets & Cores)

[SinghSingh]

HI

I would like to know if it is posible for me to use get-VMhost to pull the physical cpu information (sockets & cores) from an ESX Host? Or any other way for that matter.

Thanks

Yes it can be done by using the Get-View cmdlet to get at the SDK objects.

This script shows you some CPU related values.

You can have a look at the HostHardwareInfo object to see the other properties.

$esx = Get-View (Get-VMHost -Name <ESX-hostname>).ID

Write-Host "# of CPUs" $esx.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages 
Write-Host "# cores per CPU" $esx.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores
Write-Host "Hz" $esx.Hardware.CpuInfo.Hz
