Hi

 

What do you mean about getting data about RAM, do you want to check the amount of RAM in use?

 

In that case you should check the perfomance chart, select your ESXi and click Performance Tab, then click Chart Options and in options on left side select Memory -- Realtime and and on right side make sure you are checking Active. Click OK and you will be able to see the Active Memory.

 

Active memory is the memory currently being used by your ESXi host Plus All Virtual Machines on that ESXi.

You can identify the memory information from following methods

 

1.  Login with vSphere Client and Select Configuration -> Memory. You will get memory information from there through graphic window.

2. Second Option, Login with ssh and following the method to identify the memory information

 

To determine how much RAM is installed in each slot on an ESX/ESXi host:

  1. Login to the host using an SSH client.
  2. Run one of these commands as user root:
    • dmidecode|lessNote: dmidecode|less is not available in5.x versions.
    • smbiosDump
  3. In the output, locate the blocks of text beginning with Memory DeviceSize or Max. Size indicates the amount of memory installed.The output for slots that have memory modules installed appears similar to:Memory Device        Array Handle:0x1000        Error Information Handle: Not Provided        Total Width:72 bits        Data Width:64 bits        Size:4096 MB        Form Factor: DIMM        Set:1        Locator: DIMM_A1        Bank Locator: Not Specified        Type: <OUT OF SPEC>        Type Detail: Synchronous        Speed:1333 MHz (0.8 ns)        Manufacturer:80AD009780AD        Serial Number:1680125F        Asset Tag:0109241D        Part Number: HMT151R7AFP4C-H9The output for slots that are empty appears similar to:Memory Device        Array Handle:0x1000        Error Information Handle: Not Provided        Total Width:72 bits        Data Width:64 bits        Size: No Module Installed        Form Factor: DIMM        Set:2        Locator: DIMM_A4        Bank Locator: Not Specified        Type: <OUT OF SPEC>        Type Detail: Synchronous        Speed: Unknown        Manufacturer:        Serial Number:        Asset Tag:        Part Number:
