How to find Disk SCSI ID in Virtual Machine + Linux

How to find Disk SCSI ID in Virtual Machine + Linux

1. By command line:

a. To see scsi id of all the disks:

#cat /proc/scsi/scsi

root@test ~]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: VMware   Model: Virtual disk     Rev: 1.0
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: VMware   Model: Virtual disk     Rev: 1.0
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: VMware   Model: Virtual disk     Rev: 1.0

---------------------------------------

b. to find the scsi id of the particular disk:


root@test ~]# ls -d /sys/block/sda/device/scsi_device*

/sys/block/sda/device/scsi_device:0:0:0:0

root@test ~]# ls -d /sys/block/sdc/device/scsi_device*

/sys/block/sdc/device/scsi_device:1:0:0:0

Here: 1:0:0:0 --> scsi1; chaneel 0; id: 0 Lun: 0

or

root@test ~]# ls -d /sys/block/*/device/scsi_device*
/sys/block/sda/device/scsi_device:0:0:0:0  /sys/block/sdc/device/scsi_device:1:0:0:0  /sys/block/sde/device/scsi_device:2:0:0:0  /sys/block/sdg/device/scsi_device:3:0:0:0

/sys/block/sdb/device/scsi_device:0:0:1:0  

2. Through vSphere client:

a. In the vSphere Client, Select the virtual machine and and right-click the select Edit Settings.

b. Select each hard disk to see its SCSI address.
