vm disk

5 disks attached to a virtual server have all been given 100 gb.  c, d, e, f, g disk is seen in windows 2012 r2 . for example, if I want to increase the size of the ( F ) disk, how do I find out which disk is from the virtual machine settings? hard disk 1 , 2, 3 , 4 or 5 ?

The only reliable solution I found so far, is to maintain slightly different sizes for each of the disks, which makes it easy to identify which disk to resize

You can find several scripts on the Internet.

You may check whether e.g. https://www.virtual-allan.com/matching-windows-disks-to-vmware-vmdk-files/ does what you are looking for.
