C/C++/Perl/Shell code to get SCSI Info

Arunvijai_4 — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 03:49:12 GMT

Hi All,

I need a C/C++/Perl/Shell code to get SCSI disk information such as #cylinders, Tracks/Cylinder, Sectors/Track etc.. Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks,
Arun

Is diskinfo -v enough?

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c1t15d0

Thanks Procura, I was aware of diskinfo. But, i need a piece code to get these details. Developer says, diskinfo is not reliable :( .. I need to prove my point though.

Thanks again,
Arun

Read this post (last entry) and search the web for e.g. "zone bit recording".

You will find that you probably don't want to know this values.

Arun,
how about using fsdb.
As warning states, should only be used by experienced users.
