Did you see my post from a couple days ago?  Hopefully this is what you've been looking for.  How to trace a VM disk to a guest disk.


It describes a method to perform this trace that is more reliable than referencing scsibus and scsitargetid.  The method should work irrespective of guest OS.  PowerShell code for Windows included.

Briefly:  for disks that are not physical mode RDM, match VMware disk uuid to serial number of disk in guest.  For physical mode RDM disks, match ScsiCanonicalName to serial number of disk in guest (perhaps with some ASCII to HEX conversion as required in my environment built on NetApp).

Not saying this is foolproof but if you find a place where this doesn't work I'd like to hear about it.
