Investigation about the physical devices information through the ESXi shell

Sometimes you may require to find more details about a specific device installed in your physical servers, inside the ESXi shell environment, because there is no more useful information in the GUI. So many ways to run the command lines to get related information. In this post, I want to show some of these methods.

1.  lspci -vvv | grep controller 

(you can replace controller with any other related keywords that you want to limit the results based on that subject)


2. esxcfg-info | grep controller 

3. esxcli storage core adapter list  or  esxcli storage core device list


4. esxcfg-scsidevs -l | grep vendor

Of course, there are many other ways to achieve this goal, by the way, I mentioned just some of the useful CLIs. I will be happy if you mention other ones that you executed in your management workloads
