In this blog post I'm going to cover a method to identify a SCSI (FC or iSCSI) datastore in vCenter and map it back to a Pure Storage volume.

NAA ID for a Pure Storage-backed datastore

I was recently on a call with the storage team for a customer and they were still tracking LUN IDs so they could map them back to a VMware datastore in vCenter. When I noticed them doing this, I let them know they don’t really need to do this anymore. In vCenter it is quite easy to map a datastore back to a Pure Storage volume by viewing what is known as the NAA ID. In this blog post, I will cover one way to do this as well as explain what is an NAA ID.
