How to identify Nimble LUN ID in Vmware ?

How to identify and get Nimble colonical name / LUN ID in Vmware ?

I have presented many nimble devices as RDMs to VMware VMs. How to identify the partuclar nimble device using the UUID ?  We have EMC, Dell, and Pure, but using the VMware UUID, we can easily identify the particular RDM but for Nimble, UUID is strange.

Is there a way to decode a UUID to eui for Nimble volumes ?

Can you share which esxcli command you are using?  "esxcli storage nmp device list" lists all devices, and the display name typically has "Nimble" in it.
