What is vmwMemShares?
The obsolete per-VM memory share allocation set by the vmkernel, from the legacy memory usage table (this whole table, including this object, is marked obsolete). It indicated a VM's relative priority for memory versus other VMs on the same host.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.4.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwMemShares
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.4.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwMemShares.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> vmwMemShares.1
