Get-ScsiLun -Id <String[]> [-Server <VIServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet retrieves the SCSI devices available on the vCenter Server system. 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.

When retrieving ScsiLun objects by Datastore, the cmdlet returns a ScsiLun object for each host connected to the

specified datastore. ScsiLun objects can be differed by their VMHost property.





PARAMETERS

-CanonicalName <String[]>

Specifies 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".



Required? false

Position? 1

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-Datastore <Datastore[]>

Specifies the datastores for which you want to retrieve the SCSI devices. This parameter is supported only for

VMFS volumes.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-Hba <Hba[]>

Specifies the storage adapters for which you want to retrieve the SCSI devices.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-Id <String[]>

Specifies the IDs of the SCSI devices that you want to retrieve.



Note: When a list of values is specified for the Id parameter, the returned objects would have an ID that

matches exactly one of the string values in that list.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Key <String[]>

Specifies the linkable identifiers of the SCSI devices you want to retrieve.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-LunType <String[]>

Specifies 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



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-Server <VIServer[]>

Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this

parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the

description of Connect-VIServer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-VmHost <VMHost[]>

Specifies the hosts from which you want to retrieve the virtual SCSI devices.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS



OUTPUTS

Zero or more ScsiLun objects







NOTES

$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.
