Need to find product id of hdd drive

I need to find out the product id and firmware version of the HDD disk within a bl860c I4 blade.

On other blades, like the I2 blades, i just do a diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/diskxx.

 

# model
ia64 hp Integrity BL860c i2

 

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdisk/disk3
SCSI describe of /dev/rdisk/disk3:
             vendor: HP
         product id: EH0146FARWD
               type: direct access
               size: 143374744 Kbytes
   bytes per sector: 512
          rev level: HPDD

 

but on an I4 model, i get

# model
ia64 hp Integrity BL860c i4

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdisk/disk4
SCSI describe of /dev/rdisk/disk4:
             vendor: HP
         product id: LOGICAL VOLUME
               type: direct access
               size: 143338560 Kbytes
   bytes per sector: 512
          rev level: 5.82

 

An ioscan also just gives me 'Logical Volume'. And nothing through the OA or ILO shows me product id.

I need to the see if the firmware version is current.

Any suggestions ?

Re: Need to find product id of hdd drive

The "product id: LOGICAL VOLUME" indicates you have a hardware RAID array configured. You'll need the sautil/saconfig commands to query the hardware RAID controller to get the details on the physical drive(s) participating to the RAID array.

 

In this case, "sautil /dev/cissX" where X is the number of your /dev/ciss* device should provide the information you need.

 

For more information on hardware RAID controllers on HP-UX, please see:
