If the Everpure Plugin for the vSphere Client is not in use and/or there are additional volumes to identify you can use the FlashArray UI tools (CLI, GUI, or REST) in combination with the standard features in the vSphere Client.
The first step is the identify the storage that is in the pod.
This can be show in the FlashArray GUI or the CLI (or scripted via tools like PowerShell). Identify the serial numbers of the volumes in the pod.
The FlashArray GUI:
|
1) List the volumes in the pod |
2) Find volume details |
3) Record the serial number of the volume |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
The FlashArray CLI:
In this case, I have four volumes which have the following serial numbers:
5EE86996F8334FA00006E860, 5EE86996F8334FA00006E864, 5EE86996F8334FA00006ED79, 5EE86996F8334FA00006EDA4
Now login to the vSphere Client, click on a host, then the Configure tab, then Storage Devices, then use the filter object to search for the serial number.
|
1) Click on a host |
2) Choose Configure then Storage Devices |
3) On the Name column filter by the desired serial number |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
If the volume is connected to that host, it will be listed. If the volume is in use as a VMFS datastore it will be linked in the datastore column. If that column is empty it either means that volume is un-used (but present) or in as use as an RDM.
