Obtaining the NAA ID of the LUN

From the vSphere Client, this information is visible in the Properties window of the datastore.

From the ESXi host, run this command:

# esxcli storage vmfs extent list

You see output similar to:

Volume Name VMFS UUID Extent Number Device Name Partition
----------- ----------------------------------- ------------- ------------------------------------ ---------
datastore1 4de4cb24-4cff750f-85f5-0019b9f1ecf6 0 naa.6001c230d8abfe000ff76c198ddbc13e 3
Storage2 4c5fbff6-f4069088-af4f-0019b9f1ecf4 0 naa.6001c230d8abfe000ff76c2e7384fc9a 1
Storage4 4c5fc023-ea0d4203-8517-0019b9f1ecf4 0 naa.6001c230d8abfe000ff76c51486715db 1
LUN01 4e414917-a8d75514-6bae-0019b9f1ecf4 0 naa.60a98000572d54724a34655733506751 1


Make a note of the NAA ID of the datastore to use this information later in this procedure.

Note: Alternatively, you can run the esxcli storage filesystem list command, which lists all file systems recognized by the ESXi host.
