Determining detailed build number information for VMware hosts

Build number information:


In some cases, after patches have been installed on an ESXi host, different build numbers are reported for different components.VMware ESXi hosts are patched according to a model where each patch bundle only updates a few components of the ESXi installation at a time. Not all components of the installation are upgraded during each patch installation. When a patch is applied, the build number of the updated components changes. As a result, the ESXi installation can have different components at different build numbers, depending upon which patch bundles have been applied.

To determine the system level of a host:
Log into your ESXi host. In the command prompt, type the command : vmware -l


To determine the build number of a host:

Log into your ESXi host. In the command prompt, type the command : vmware -v
