The outline of the process is the following:
1. Identify the device name that represents the affected LUN.
i. List the VMFS datastores and their associated device names
esxcli storage vmfs extent list
ii. List all devices on this host
iii. To verify that you located the affected device, you can run fdisk -lu to list its partition table.
Note: What If the Datastore Has Extents? using vmkfstools -P /vmfs/volume/
2. Locate the LVM header offset.
The LVM header offset would show d00d c001 as the first 4 bytes. The following 2 bytes show the major VMFS version. In this example it is 0003, which means that this volume was VMFS3 version. If it were VMFS5, the value would have been 0005.
