What is cpuShares?
Reports the relative CPU shares the VMkernel has allocated to this virtual machine, the resource-pool weighting value an admin checks when diagnosing why one VM gets more CPU time than another under contention.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::cpuShares
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::cpuShares.1
