List storage details with esxcfg-scsidevs in ESXi SSH console

Here is a list of storage commands examples that display storage details on an ESXi host. I recently had to move some storage disks around and received just the vml. numbers without LUN IDs or naa. numbers. This helped me locate the LUNs in question.

    I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this site.
    I’m hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts by you in the future as well.
    In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me
    to get my own blog now 😉

  2. Mr Jenkins stated i4 Connect would revamp the Commercialisation Australia roster
    of business enterprise advisers.

  3. me@me.com says:

    Show LUN IDs from naa.xxx numbers

    esxcli storage nmp device list

  4. me says:

    you first have to run the first command to find naa number for the VML

    esxcli storage core device list | less

    then once you have the Naa, you can run below to see what LUN ID the naa corresponds to
