Determining the VMware Version

I know of the following methods to determine the version of VMware.

  • vimsh -n -e ‘hostsvc/hostsummary’ | grep fullName
    • This only works on VMware ESX
  • esxupdate query|grep -v “ESX-”
    • This only works on VMware ESX
  • vmware -v
    • This should work on most VMware products
