ESXi disk (LUN) property check

Identifying disks when working with VMware ESXi/ESX (1014953)

 

Run these commands to collect disk and LUN information from ESXi 6:

  • Run the esxcli storage core path list command to generate a list of all LUN paths currently connected to the ESXi host.
  • Run the esxcli storage core device list command to generate a list of LUNs currently connected to the ESXi host.
  • Run the esxcli storage vmfs extent list command to generate a list of extents for each volume and mapping from device name to UUID.
  • Run the esxcli storage filesystem list command to generate a compact list of the LUNs currently connected to the ESXi host, including VMFS version.
  • Run the ls -alh /vmfs/devices/disks command to list the possible targets for certain storage operations.
