vCenter SCSI Ids do not match OS SCSI ids

Why are the scsi ids that are reported by vCenter different from what are reported on my Linux machine? vCenter reports them as one would expect, increasing from 0:0, 0:1, 0:2,... and 1:0, 1:1, 1:2, ... 3:0,3:1, ... yet the OS is reporting something different. I am specifically looking at the first digit of the scsi ids reported by the OS and there are some that are reporting as 4 and 5 where none of the first digits of those reported by vCenter are 4 or 5. Similarly, from the vCenter perspective none of the scsi ids first digits report as 1 or 3 whereas in the OS they do. I do see that all of the 3 digits appear to be accounted for but without the first digits matching up I have no way of associating the disks from the OS perspective to the disks from vCenter's perspective.
