Troubleshooting an R900 with ESXi

[Brian O'Mahony]

Thought as much., Cant install OMSA on them anyways (they also only have about 60M free space regardless)

So is there any way of checking hardware on an ESXi host while it is online?

The functionality to run diags/dset isn't available in ESXi.  Busybox
doesn't support dset/online diags.  OMSA 6.0.3 should allow reporting,
but not diags.
