pyvmomi: Retrieving "Transport" information

Question

I am trying to print out Transport Details (From the vCenter - Host > Storage Devices > Device Details > Transport > SAS (for example) using pyvmomi.

This is the API I have been using as a reference: https://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.MultipathInfo.Path.html

HostMultiPathInfoLuns = host.config.storageDevice.multipathInfo.lun
        for lun in HostMultiPathInfoLuns:
            for path in lun.path:
                print(path.transport)

This prints out the following:

(vim.host.SerialAttachedTargetTransport) {
   dynamicType = <unset>,
   dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) []
}
(vim.host.SerialAttachedTargetTransport) {
   dynamicType = <unset>,
   dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) []
}

I am interested in retrieving something like this: (Run the esxcli storage core path list command to generate a list of all LUN paths currently connected to the ESXi host.)

fc.5001438005685fb5:5001438005685fb4-fc.50060160c46036df:50060167446036df-naa.6006016094602800e07ff528b73ae011

Thanks in advance...

Then you'll likely want to access the individual attributes of the lun path that are of interest to you. Instead of just doing print(path.transport), try something like print(path.transport.address) and print(path.transport.iScsiName). I only see three attributes on that object in my debugger, they are address, iScsiName, and iScsiAlias
