Detailed Description

Retrieves the SCSI devices available on the the vSphere server. Examples of SCSI logical unit objects include disks which may contain file system volumes or parts of volumes for the host or might serve as raw disks to a virtual machine. Other examples include SCSI passthrough devices that can be used by virtual machines.

Parameters

Name	Description	Required?	Pipeline Input
CanonicalName	Specify the canonical name of the SCSI devices you want to retrieve. An example of a SCSI canonical name for Windows is "vmhba0:0:0:0".	false	false
VmHost	Specify the hosts from which you want to retrieve the virtual SCSI devices.	true	true (ByValue)
Key	Specify the linkable identifiers of the SCSI devices you want to retrieve.	false	false
LunType	Specify the type of the SCSI devices you want to retrieve. The following types are valid: cdrom communications disk enclosure mediaChanger opticalDevice printer processor scanner storageArrayController tape unknown worm	false	false
Server	Specify the vSphere servers on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.	false	false
Hba	Specify the storage adapters for which you want to retrieve the SCSI devices.	false	true (ByValue)
Datastore	Specify the datastores for which you want to retrieve the SCSI devices. This parameter is supported only for VMFS volumes.	false	true (ByValue)

Return Type

ScsiLun

Examples

-------------- Example 1 --------------

Get-ScsiLun -VMHost 10.23.123.100 -LunType disk

Retrieves the SCSI devices of "disk" type for the virtual machine host with an IP address 10.23.123.100.

-------------- Example 2 --------------

Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun -CanonicalName "naa.*"

Retrieves the SCSI devices with canonical names that starts with "naa." on the provided host.

-------------- Example 3 --------------

$hba = Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostHba -Type ParallelScsi

Get-ScsiLun -Hba $hba -LunType disk

Retrieves the SCSI devices of "disk" type for the specified HBA devices.

-------------- Example 4 --------------

Get-ScsiLun -Datastore Datastore -Key "key-vim.host.ScsiDisk-*"

For the Datastore datastore, retrieves the SCSI devices that have the specified linkable identifiers.
