Select the first storage adapter, e.g., vmhba4, then select the Adapter Details > Paths tab as shown in Figure 18. The target, LUN number (e.g., LUN 0) and path status are shown. The target field includes the two active storage WWPNs connected to vmhba4. The status field is marked either Active or Active (I/O) for each path.
