View VMware VMFS datastores

Display the list of existing VMFS datastores. You can filter on the ID of a VMFS datastore.

Format

/stor/prov/vmware/vmfs [{-id <value> | -name <value> | -type {primary | tc {-baseRes <value> | -baseResName <value> | -originalParent <value> | -originalParentName <value> | -source <value> | -sourceName <value>}]}}] show

Object qualifier

QualifierDescription
-idType the ID of a VMFS datastore.
-nameType the name of a VMFS datastore.
-standaloneDisplays only VMFS datastores that are not part of a consistency group.
-type

Identifies the type of resources to display. Valid values are (case insensitive):

  • primary
  • tc
-baseRes (Applies to thin clones only) ID of the base VMFS datastore by which to filter thin clones.
-baseResName(Applies to thin clones only) Name of the base VMFS datastore by which to filter thin clones.
-originalParent (Applies to thin clones only) ID of the parent VMFS datastore by which to filter thin clones.
-originalParentName(Applies to thin clones only) Name of the parent VMFS datastore by which to filter thin clones.
-source (Applies to thin clones only) ID of the source snapshot by which to filter thin clones.
-sourceName(Applies to thin clones only) Name of the source snapshot by which to filter thin clones.
