Powercli Cmdlets that i can use to interrogate BIOS settings

[aatef6]

Hello Experts,

Is there a powercli cmdlet that one can use to interrogate BIOS settings, not BIOS version. I would like to audit our ESXI hosts BIOS settings in an easy way instead of logging into every host and interrogating the BIOS setting using the conrep tool/script. Neither get-view nor get-vmhosthardware seem to do the job. Below is an example list of BIOS settings that i would like to audit. Our HW is based on the HPE BL460c. The other option would be to use get-esxcli cmdlet or invoke-vmscript but i'm afraid this will be too complex and just wondering if there is an easier way to do it. Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Afaik there are no PowerCLI cmdlets to do that.

You can try to use the CIM interface, but that again depends on how well the HW vendor has implemented that.

There is a function to access the CIM in Re: Getting hard disk information with CIM?

The ESXi CIM model is described here.
