To identify RDMs using the vSphere Client:
- Determine which RDM LUNs are part of an MSCS cluster. From the vSphere Client, select a virtual machine that has a mapping to the MSCS cluster RDM devices.
- Edit your virtual machine settings and navigate to your Mapped RAW LUNs. In this example, Hard disk 2:
- In the Physical, there is the specification of the device in use as RDM (that is, the vml ID).
- Take note of the vml ID, which is a globally unique identifier for your shared device.
- Identify the naa.id for this vml through the command esxcli storage core device list
