Hello Team,
We have few Dell power edge servers, we want to know how Meany memory dims are available and how Meany memory banks are installed on each server.
All are servers running ESXi Please help us to get the info.
Run this command from ESXi CLI
smbiosDump | grep 'Memory Device' -A12
Enjoy.
Install OpenManage into ESXi and access like you would any other managed Dell server.
Do you have a n iDrac?
Alternatively you can SSH to the server
try running
dmidecode -t memory
I can't remember if it works but I have found this info somehow from the CLI.
Hi My aim is to know the memory status.
How much memory installed like memory dimms and memory banks and free banks etc.
Article is about how to generate DEll Host logs live .
Please help me
Did you try either of the suggestion above?
If you have a DRAC configured then it will tell you.
If you don't then "dmidecode" should tell you.

Then you didn't read the article very well. When you install the OpenManage VIB, you can connect to that instance from another installation of OpenManage and get all the memory statistics (plus more) that you can get if you had an iDRAC. Below is a screenshot taken from one of my ESXi hosts.
DRAC is configured but we are unable to see the memory option.
You don't have the iDRAC Enterprise in that case.
Run this command from ESXi CLI
smbiosDump | grep 'Memory Device' -A12
Enjoy.
iDRAC Enterprise only
You should order "OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter" formaly known as "Dell Managment Plugin for VMware vCenter" which adds your PowerEdge Inventory into vCenter so you can see it on cluster or host level. Its available since 2010 or so. It show support lifetime also and as a major plus you can apply FW updates to the hosts through WebClient.
