how do i find the uuid of a datastore like this from esxcli?

I'm confused...  the esxcli command to find the UUID of the datastores is in the screenshot;

esxcli storage filesystem list

If you where searching for one in a long list, you could used grep.

esxcli storage filesystem list | grep -i NameOfDataStore

Sorry I mean how do I do it from powercli.

does get-datastore or get-scsilun provide some options?

Has a script that I'm sure you can modify to get the required output.

Thanks

guess it also works with esxcli in powercli

$esxcli.storage.filesystem.list()

Sorry, just noticed the sub forum this is in.

Get-ScsiLun - vSphere PowerCLI Cmdlets Reference looks like it'll provide what you are looking for.
