I need to full audit of our esx servers which run on dell poweredge r815 servers. Its part of our asset management. I thought to do this, i could use powershell to get some hardware information of the esx servers. The information I need is :
Serial Number/Asset Tag
Cpu brand
Cpu cache size
Ram quantity and type allocation (eg. 8 * 1GB)
Pagefile/Swap size
Motherboard BIOS Version
Mac Address of Vmnic
Storage Controller brand/Model
Local storage RAID
Local Storage partitions
Can powershell help to get some or all of the information above
Thanks
.
Part of the HW info you're looking for can be obtained through the CIM interface.
Have a look at Robert's script in Script to get serial number of all hosts to start with.

lucd,
Is it possible to get all the information I have listed via powershell, using cmdlets for hosts and networking.
Do you know of any.
We will be doing this regularly know on our hosts

I too need such a script. My esx host's are mainly Dell or IBM but i cannot seem to be able to get the asset tag or bios version for Dell.
If you could crack this then that would be great.
