This might be easily the biggest obstacle. Try to run "sensors-detect" (I do not remember if it is included in ESXi if not, boot some live-cd) to find if it can see some sensors on your motherboard at all.

But first you have to check what sensor-chips are on your motherboard, and if they are supported by lm_sensors (I think VMware dropped support of some/many consumer-grade chips from lm_sensors).

#Asus find serial number motherboard software
I have spent many hours trying to get this software work properly on my linux-server and the best I can say about it is: it is "rather tricky" piece of software. Is there any way to make some config/description/provider or recompiled libhd to get these data parsed ?įrom what I know, fort data-acquisition of temperature/fan-speed/voltage values not a smis-provider, but a package called "lm_sensors" is used on ESXi. I made some investigation and it looks like smbiosDump is a wrapper over a custom libhd.so.18 library. There is only processor/memory/software info.

I installed vsphere on asus b85m-g motherboard and can't see any temperature/fan speed sensors data on health status page.
