Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
biosInfo* | HostBIOSInfo | Information about the system BIOS Since VI API 2.5
cpuFeature* | HostCpuIdInfo[] | CPU feature set that is supported by the hardware. This is the intersection of the feature sets supported by the individual CPU packages. This feature set is modified by the supportedCpuFeature array in the host capabilities to obtain the feature set supported by the virtualization platform.
cpuInfo | HostCpuInfo | Overall CPU information.
cpuPkg | HostCpuPackage[] | Information about each of the physical CPU packages on the host.
cpuPowerManagementInfo* | HostCpuPowerManagementInfo | Since vSphere API 4.0
memorySize | xsd:long | Total amount of physical memory on the host in bytes.
numaInfo* | HostNumaInfo | Information about the NUMA (non-uniform memory access).
pciDevice* | HostPciDevice[] | The list of Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) devices available on this host.
reliableMemoryInfo* | HostReliableMemoryInfo | Information about reliable memory. Since vSphere API 5.5
smcPresent | xsd:boolean | Presence of System Management Controller, indicates the host is Apple hardware, and thus capable of running Mac OS guest as VM. Since vSphere API 5.0
