Yup. I never noticed this output, though I ran symdev show 100 times, but for other data info. How silly I am...

  1. On Windows, open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) to view and identify the physical disks linked to the virtual volume.

  2. On Linux, utilize the 'lsblk' command to list block devices and their associations, helping identify disks contributing to the virtual volume.

  3. In VMware, access the vSphere client and navigate to the Storage view to identify the physical datastores corresponding to the virtual volume in your virtualized environment.
