6.5 Monitor Tab>Hardware Status not showing BIOS; status "Unknown" on all sections.

This is with two esxi hosts that are Dell R640's. I've cleared logs and reset sensors and BIOS is 1.3.7 (the latest).

Any idea's?

Just wanted to update this, I found the solution. Just needed to enable wbem via ssh.

Simple

Thanks for the help!

Did you use the DellEMC customized image to install ESXi? If not, you need that build to provide the correct CIM sensors for the hardware.

Yes, it came pre-installed with the Dell image.
