How to get hardware info through ESXi

Have u ever come across where you desperately need some hardware level information of an ESXi host. I did!

I was asked to get how many memory modules were plugged in DIMM slots. My colleague came up saying there is a Linux command to get the info if it was a Linux host.

# dmidecode | less


It works for ESX versions from 3.x to 4.x

But the above command wont work for ESXi versions and has been replaced with below command

# smbiosDump | less
