How to find out the volume and frequency of HP DL180 G6 memory sticks from under Esxi 5.5?

Question

System administration

There is a server HP DL180 G6
IPMI Version: 2.0
Firmware Version: 4.22
Hardware Version: 1.0
Now there is 32Gb of DDR3 ECC memory
There is a task to add more memory
It is not clear what strips and what frequency they are.
Nothing is written in ILO Shut down
the server and see what is there, of course, an option, but very bad
Worth VmWare Esxi 5.5 + Horizon
Therefore, all utilities like AIDA or lshw are not suitable, because they collect data from a virtual machine or VmWare does not know them

Answer 1

Connect to the ESXi host via ssh and look with the smbiosDump utility.

Answer 2

and run utilities to determine the hardware for your axis

Answer 3

dmidecode --type 17
*if you are running Linux

Answer 4

What OS is on the server?
for Linux Ubuntu execute in the console
For Windows the utility CPU-Z or AIDA64 is suitable.

Answer 5

If the server is Linux, then lshw will give you enough information to identify the sticks.

Answer 6

If you have ssh access to the hypervisor, then like this:

The number of slots used (I have 8) and the maximum available amount for expansion (I have up to 64 GB):

#smbiosDump | grep -A 4 'Physical Memory Array'
Physical Memory Array: #4096
Use: 0x03 (System memory)
Location: 0x03 (Motherboard)
Slots: 8
Max. Size: 64 GB

In which slots, which strips are installed:
