Windows Disk LUN WWID
by dwarfsoft on Aug.28, 2014, under Scripting, Storage, Tweet, Work
One of my main issues with attempting to identify storage on Windows Systems is that the Bus/LUN Id can be stored in multiple places, and trying to track that back to a Volume is pretty hard. So after doing some fairly deep investigation into DeviceIOControl calls to query Page 80 (Device information such as Vendor and type) and Page 83 (which returns the WWID object) I have managed to wrangle the C# into a Type usable from a PowerShell Script.

PowerCLI – Virtual Machine Disk Usage Report

For the moment I will just paste the script as it stands, but I hope to return and explain some of the components.
