Hello,

I want to know any esxcli command or path* that i can cheek the LUN that available(Not been added as datastore yet) to add  ESXi Host without using vSphere client or web client?

(I mean by Path* for Ex :-/vmfs/devices/disk)

try this

esxcli storage filesystem list

hello arathore,

I tried that as you can see the result just show the datastore which already added to esxi host  .

what i want is to show the Disk\LUN been presented from storage side to ESXi Host but not added to it yet.  

~ # esxcli storage filesystem list

Try this: esxcli storage core  device partition showguid | grep -i n/a

[MKguy]

Check if the following snippet of shell code does the job for you:

esxcli storage core device list | egrep '^[^ ]+' | while read disk
do
  esxcfg-scsidevs --vmfs | if ! grep -q "$disk"
  then
    echo -e "$disk is not mapped to any VMFS"
  fi
done

Edit: Faulty VMFS-check logic has been amended.

It just rotates through every block storage device and checks if it's mapped to an existing VMFS volume.

Apparently there is no such operation

This should work.

create a below .sh script and execute

esxcfg-scsidevs -c|awk '{print $1}'|cut -d"." -f2|grep -v Device >/var/tmp/all_disks

esxcfg-scsidevs --vmfs>/var/tmp/assigned_disks

for i in `cat /var/tmp/all_disks`

  do

  cat /var/tmp/assigned_disks|grep -q $i

    F=$?

     if [ $F -gt 0 ]

     then

     echo $i

     fi

  done
