An end-to-end mapping from a file system of an operating system running on a virtual machine to a storage volume of a SAN is determined. The virtual machine reported by the operating system is mapped to a definition of the virtual machine as provided by a management component managing the virtual machine. A storage device reported by the operating system is mapped to a definition of a virtual storage device as provided by the management component, such as by using a SCSI controller number and target identifier of the virtual machine storage device to correlate the virtual machine storage device to the definition. The definition of the virtual storage device is mapped to a storage device on a physical computing device on which the management component and the virtual machine are running. The storage device on the physical computing device is mapped to the storage volume of the SAN.
