Get naa number with Get-View

[Adam_L]

I'm lookng to use get-view to replace get-datastore "datastore" | get-scsilun.  This gives me exactly what I need, but it's very slow in my environment due to lots of datastores.  I mainly just need the naa number.  Is this possible?  I've found ways to get the naa numbers from the hosts through get-view, but not sure how to tie it to the specific datastore.  I've looked through all the values for get-view -ViewType datastore and get-view -viobject "datastore", but maybe I'm missing something.  I don't expect anyone to write it for me, just wondering if anyone could point me to where to look.

Thanks

Provided you only have VMFS datastores, you can do

Get-View -ViewType Datastore |

Select Name,@{N='naa';E={$_.Info.Vmfs.Extent[0].diskName}}

Note that this will only show the 1st extent of the datastore.

If you have datastores with more than 1 extent, the script will need to be adapted.

Thanks Luc!

You can also try the following:

$esxcli= Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esxihost

$esxcli.storage.vmfs.extent.list() | ?{($_.DeviceName -like "naa.6000*")} | Sort Device | Select DeviceName, VolumeName

where $esxihost is your host name. Replace "naa.6000*"  with your device identifier.
