Get-datastore - add LUN ID ?

[alanrenouf]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to add the LUN Addresss / ID to the get-datastore command to show:

DataStore Name | LUN Address / ID

Datastore 01 | vmhba:0:1:1

Thanks

Datastores are logical and to the point of view of your VI, have nothing to do with LUNs. You have to go back to the host adapter to get that information.

PS > Get-VMHostStorage | select -ExpandProperty scsilun

CanonicalN LunType    Key                            Model      SerialNumb Vendor
ame                                                             er
---------- -------    ---                            -----      ---------- ------
vmhba0:1:0 disk       key-vim.host.ScsiDisk-vmhba... MAP3735... unavail... FUJITSU
vmhba0:2:0 disk       key-vim.host.ScsiDisk-vmhba... MAP3735... unavail... FUJITSU
vmhba0:0:0 disk       key-vim.host.ScsiDisk-vmhba... ST33660... unavail... SEAGATE

I'm sure there's a way that you can tie the info together, but I'll leave that as an exercise for someone else.

Perhaps this can help.

Alan,

Take a look at my entry for the contest:

http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-6991

or:

http://www.peetersonline.nl/index.php/uncategorized/my-scripting-contest-contribution/

It contains a section that creates an object relating each datastore with it's extents. You could copy/paste that.

Regards,

Hugo
