How to Obtain Logical Processors on VMware Host in C#

[AsciJA]

I need to obtain the number of logical processors that a VMware host has, the number of processor sockets and the number of cores per socket from a C# program. I don't see this information in the HostSystem Managed Object or in any of the objects associated with it. This information is displayed by the VMware Infrastructure Client in the Configuration/Hardware/Processors tab, but I need to capture it programmatically. Thanks in advanced for your help.

Take a look under HostSystem->hardware for this information: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.HardwareInfo.htm...

I asked our SDK Dev team to put together some samples in PowerShell, once they are ready we will post them here...will PS work for you ?

Hi AsciJA,

Attached is the standalone C# sample to get the Overall CPU information. It takes 4 parameters:

<webserviceurl> <username> <password> <host ipaddress>
