hello all
we have environment of Vcenter 2.5 with 3 clusters each cluster having 4 hosts of ESX 3.5. LUN's are allocated to each cluster from EMC clariion and VNX storage boxes. i want know how can i identify the LUN WWN numbers from within ESX console. i tried esxcfg-vmhbadevs -m and esxcfg-mpath -l however from these command i am not able to identify the LUN as the WWN numbers here are of HBA cards. i have WWN numbers of LUNS of both clariion and VNX provided nby our storage team now from these WWN i want to identify which datastore is using which storage ?
any suggestions
can you try to run command from console and post the output?
run the following command
esxcfg-mpath -lv | grep ^Disk | grep -v vmhba0 | awk '{print $2}'
then choose one vmhba device .. i.e : vmhba1:02:03...
run the following command (replace the $entry by the vmhba that you chose)
esxcfg-mpath -lv | grep Disk | grep -v vmhba0 | awk '{print $3,$5,$2}' | cut -b15- | cut -c 1-32,45- | sort +3 | grep -w $entry | awk '{print $1}'
Let me know if you still get error...
Otherwise there is also a way to obtain what you need using powerCLI... I have scripts on my other computer, but it is currently not available...
I had something like this long time ago to create report :
____________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh
file="/tmp/$(hostname)_$(date +%Y_%h_%d_%H%M%p)_Luns.txt"
list_vmhba_devices=`esxcfg-mpath -lv | grep ^Disk | grep -v vmhba0 | awk '{print $2}'`
for entry in $list_vmhba_devices
do
lun_number=`esxcfg-mpath -lv | grep Disk | grep -v vmhba0 | awk '{print $3,$5,$2}' | cut -b15- | cut -c 1-32,45- | sort +3 | grep -w $entry | awk '{print $1}'`
uuid=`esxcfg-vmhbadevs -m | grep -w $entry | awk '{print $3}'`
name=`vmkfstools -P /vmfs/volumes/$uuid | grep "File system label" | awk '{print $6}'`
echo -e "LUN : $name" >> $file
echo -e "LUN #: $lun_number\n" >> $file
echo "###########################################################################" >> $file
done

hi
not sure if i am doing anything wrong here but i am getting below error after execution

Perfect man...
i choose one vmhba and run the command and did get the WWN of one of my LUN. Now i have all WWN numbers can it be possible get the corresponding vmhba numbers so that i can find the datastores ?
