Getting Serial Number Info from VMHost

Not long ago, I was introduced to a wonderful module known as "VI-Module".  It has given me access to some of the hardware data on a host that's quite elusive.  I was able to get the Manufacturer, Model, even BIOS and firmware dates.  However, what I'm trying to put together is a script which spits out the Serial Tag for any of these ESXi hosts (i.e. IBM Blades, etc).  I learned that "Bios" was a calculated field, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is derived from in order to pull that info.  I was expecting that if I could figure that out, then I could figure out how to substitute 'SerialTag' for BIOS.

I truly hope that someone can assist with this puzzle.  I have to provide a report which matches us the vCenters with their hosts by Serial Number. It's due COB Monday and my mind isn't working on full steam this afternoon.  Thanks in advance for your learned help.
