identify disks from a storage device

[SG1234]

all -- I will need to find out if an RDM disk associated with a Virtual machine is residing on a particular storage device - so if the host is connected to several Storage arrays - I need to filter the RDMs only to those coming from a specific array

I am using the script given in this thread

however  , I also need the 'target identifier' along with disk id --

please advise

Did you already try the script in LUN report – datastore, RDM and node visibility ?

It will list the VM and the harddisk name for those that are RDM disks.

[SG1234]

yes -- along with this I need the target identifier as well -- this will tell me which storage array the disk belongs to

in excfg-mpath -l for a given lun this is under 'Target Identifier:'

LucD/All -- is there a way to determine the target identifier for the RDM Luns ?

Try like this

$report = @()
$vms = Get-VM
foreach($vm in $vms){
    $pathTab = @{}
    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $vm.VMHost
    $esxcli.storage.core.path.list() | %{
        $pathTab.Add($_.Device.Split('.')[1],$_.TargetIdentifier)
    }
    foreach($dev in $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device){
        if(($dev.gettype()).Name -eq "VirtualDisk"){
            if(($dev.Backing.CompatibilityMode -eq "physicalMode") -or 
                ($dev.Backing.CompatibilityMode -eq "virtualMode")){
                $row = "" | select VMName, VMHost, HDDeviceName, HDTargetID, HDFileName, HDMode, HDsize
                $row.VMName = $vm.Name
                $row.VMHost = $vm.VMHost.Name
                $row.HDDeviceName = $dev.Backing.DeviceName
                $row.HDTargetID = $pathTab[$dev.Backing.LunUuid.SubString(10,32)]
                $row.HDFileName = $dev.Backing.FileName
                $row.HDMode = $dev.Backing.CompatibilityMode
                $row.HDSize = $dev.CapacityInKB
                $report += $row
            }
        }
    }
}
$report

What is the output of

$esxcli.storage.core.path.list()

in your environment ?
