ESXi Memory Modules
I'm trying to find out how many memory modules there are on our ESXi hosts without bringing the host down and physically looking. I know the total amount of memory, but I don't know if it's using all of the memory slots. Is there a command to run in cli or does it tell you somewhere in the vsphere client?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Ooopss...a bit late "bgoering"...my bad :)

That works great for servers that are in vCentral. What about stand alone ESXi server? There isn't a hardware tab. Configuration > Memory just shows the total.

No problem coolsport00 - I am not sure about that either as mine are also all occupied. However when I expand any DIMM is does show the capacity - might either (1) not show up, or (2) show the slot as unoccupied, ie. 0GB
The only other way to 'see' your DIMM slots that I'm aware of is by installing SNMP software within your host -> e.g. Dell OpenManage or HP Insight Manager; no native way without vCenter I believe.

Then OpenManage may be your only bet here "acronie" :(
