PCLI call to obtain host memory speed?

[banerian]

Is there a PCLI or RCLI call to obtain host memory speed?  Users would like to see if host memory is running at the correct [fastest] speed.

I can see the info there in the Hardware Status window, but I can't find it in a get-vmhost | get -view call ... maybe I'm mising it ...

Thanks,

John

Well the script that MCGower posted looks good, however that only shows the fastest speed as configured on the host, but I don't see how it can identify the DIMMS in the slot, so even though 800Mhz may be the fastest.. doesn't mean the machine is configured (taking into account DIMM configuration (bus speed) and BIOS setup) for fastest.  1333 Mhz may be capable for instance.

Any good tech SHOULD make sure the host is properly setup, verify the hardware is all there and functioning, this should not be a user level issue.  You give them a VM and tell them it's fine.  THEY should trust the techs that they did their job.
