Get Volume Name Associated with LUNS

[Ashwin89]

Is there any way to identify the volume name (of filer) for which LUNS are associated.

E.G : I am having two LUNS

vmhba32:0:1 and vmhba32:0:2 which are connected to netapp filer with some volume.

from VI SDK i am getting all the required information about LUNS from scsiLun object type.

Is there is way to get the volume name to which these LUNS are associated?

scsiLun object type information gives lun type,disk,model,vendor and some more information

but I am not getting filer and volume information for that filer.

What type of information from the filer were you looking for? I don't think you'll be able to pull filer specific information as that won't be exposed through the API, I think. You'll be able to get some basic information using scsiLun http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.ScsiLun.html but I'm not aware of any other pieces of information.

Here's a very detail post on understanding the VMFS volumes and what you can do with some of the meta data which is not accessible through the VI API: http://blog.laspina.ca/roller/Ubiquitous/entry/understanding_vmfs_volumes You can even figure out vendor/etc. by doing some hexdump on some of the header information, you won't have this ability with VI API
