Identify Vitual disk on Dell
Hello,
we are trying to replace one of the installed HDD disks on the server by SSD. this disk is the only disk in the virtual disk#1
we have 2 virtual disks with the same setup on the PowerEdge R730, both are RAID0
we are not able to identify which of those virtual disks is linked to a specific datastore on Vmware. we can see the SCSI of that data store on VMWARE but i couldn't find SCSI on the virtual disks information on the iDRAC
is there a way to tell which virtual disk on iDRAC is connected to which datastore on VMware? so we replace the correct disk and not to lose data?

Hello Dell Zajil,
These vmware articles can guide you for that information:
Determining which drives and volumes match which disks in a Windows virtual machine

When performing troubleshooting with ESXi storage, use command line tools which require you to identify a specific disk or LUN connected to ESXi.
