Reports the total physical memory installed on the ESX host, in kilobytes, the ceiling an admin compares against memCOS and memAvail to see how much is left for virtual machines.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::memSize
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.2.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB::memSize.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> memSize.1
