vmhbaAdapter:CChannel:TTarget:LLUN<br />
n vmhbaAdapter is the name of the storage adapter. The name refers to the physical adapter on the host, not<br />
to the SCSI controller used by the virtual machines.<br />
n CChannel is the storage channel number.<br />
Software iSCSI adapters and dependent hardware adapters use the channel number to show multiple<br />
paths to the same target.<br />
n TTarget is the target number. Target numbering is determined by the host and might change if the<br />
mappings of targets visible to the host change. Targets that are shared by different hosts might not have<br />
the same target number.<br />
n LLUN is the LUN number that shows the position of the LUN within the target. The LUN number is<br />
provided by the storage system. If a target has only one LUN, the LUN number is always zero (0).<br />
For example, vmhba1:C0:T3:L1 represents LUN1 on target 3 accessed through the storage adapter vmhba1 and<br />
channel 0.<br />
Display <strong>Storage</strong> Devices for a Host<br />
Use the <strong>vSphere</strong> Client to display all storage devices or LUNs available to a host. If you use any third-party<br />
multipathing plug-ins, the storage devices available through the plug-ins also appear on the list.<br />
Procedure<br />
1 In Inventory, select Hosts and Clusters.<br />
2 Select a host and click the Configuration tab.<br />
3 In Hardware, select <strong>Storage</strong>.<br />
4 Click Devices.<br />
5 To view additional details about a specific device, select the device from the list.<br />
Display <strong>Storage</strong> Devices for an Adapter<br />
Use the <strong>vSphere</strong> Client to display a list of storage devices accessible to a specific storage adapter on the host.<br />
Procedure<br />
1 In Inventory, select Hosts and Clusters.<br />
2 Select a host and click the Configuration tab.<br />
3 In Hardware, select <strong>Storage</strong> Adapters.<br />
4 Select the adapter from the <strong>Storage</strong> Adapters list.<br />
5 Click Devices.<br />
Copy <strong>Storage</strong> Device Identifiers to the Clipboard<br />
A storage device identifier is a universally unique ID assigned to a storage device or LUN. Depending on the<br />
type of storage, different algorithms are used to create the identifier and it can be long and complex. You can<br />
copy the storage device identifier directly from the <strong>vSphere</strong> Client.<br />
Procedure<br />
1 Display a list of storage devices.<br />
2 Right-click a device and select Copy identifier to clipboard.<br />
