Find out Frame and LUN ID for VM RDM's from a Symmetrix/vMax Array.
Summary:
I was looking for a way to translate RDM info into a simple frame and SCSI ID. I took my Naa.ID script and modified to look @ it in this way. RDM's are needed for EMC based management tools, that's pretty much the only reason I use RDM's.
Usage:

Usage:
- Save the below script as a .psm1 file.
- Import-Module Convert-LUNUuidToVMaxFrameandDeviceId.psm1 file (I happened to name my psm1 file the same as the function name. You can name it differently if you want.)
- Convert-LUNUuidToVmaxFrameAndDeviceId #############################
- This'll return a Frame and Device value written to screen.
- Below you can see how to get the LUNUUid info and how you batch the info.
Script:
# Batch scripting information #$TVM = Get-VM #$Devices = $TVM.extensiondata.config.hardware.device #$DeviceBacking = @() #foreach ($device in $devices) {$devicebacking += $device.backing} #$devicebacking = $devicebacking | where {$_.lunuuid -ne $null} #foreach ($device in $devicebacking){Convert-LUNUuidToVMaxFrameandDeviceId $device.lunuuid} Function Convert-LUNUuidToVmaxFrameAndDeviceId ($LUNUuid) { if ($LUNUuid.length -ne 54) { "LUNUuid must be 54 characters"; break } $deviceString = $LUNUUid.ToCharArray() # Prepended w/ Frame info. $device = ("Frame $($deviceString[26])$($deviceString[27])$($deviceString[28])$($deviceString[29]) Device ") $device += [char][Convert]::ToInt32("$($deviceString[32])$($deviceString[33])", 16) $device += [char][Convert]::ToInt32("$($deviceString[34])$($deviceString[35])", 16) $device += [char][Convert]::ToInt32("$($deviceString[36])$($deviceString[37])", 16) $device += [char][Convert]::ToInt32("$($deviceString[38])$($deviceString[39])", 16) $device += [char][Convert]::ToInt32("$($deviceString[40])$($deviceString[41])", 16) return $device }
