How to identify the lun number in vsphere

[juchestyle]

In vi3 it was easy to see the lun number. In vSphere you can see it when you are adding storage, but after that, is there an easy way to identify it?

Hello,

How are you my friend ?

I found a article very simple to understand. Might can help. Here you go http://geeksilver.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/vmware-vsphere-4-1-vs-esx-3-x-storage-identifier-understa...

when the storage characterization for a VM is inaccessible, there is no way to determine the number and size of LUNs to provision. You can experiment using either a predictive or adaptive scheme.

For adaptive scheme read the following, it explains clearly.

Go to configuration of ESX - Click storage adapters ->

Go to ISCSI, FCP adapter and check Devices - > it will give you the LUN number
