I am looking for someone to help me out with the below,

My environment has around 100 esxi servers and different storage vendors and storage types, iSCSI SAN, Netapp NAS, Dell MD series and Fibre SAN.

I am finidng it difficult to identify different storage types.

I would like to connect to my vcentre and run across all esxi servers to find the following,

1. Each disk type (fibre / iscsi / etc...)

2. Disk size (allocated / used)

3. Map these disks to cluster and physical hosts

4. Path

5. Storage vendor

6. Disk speed if possible

7. Thin provised / not

8. Disk usage (allocated vs used)

9. Disk read IO

10. Disk write IO

11. Disk latency

12. RDM's

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Karthik

I can offer my two cents on the vendor name - each vendor has their own signature in the naa.id --

NetApp's naa id starts with 60a98000

EMC's starts with 6000097

similarly there must be something similar for Dell
