serial of attached SAN box

[sepp2909]

Hi All!

After lot of trying and reading of man pages here my question:
I want to create a script running over all our HP servers (11.11, 11.23, 11.31) which gives me back the serial number of the attaches SAN box. The only procedure I found:

But this I can't use in a script.
Any ideas
Best regards

If the cstm procedure works for you, you can script it.

But I doubt if this really helps.



All depends on this "SAN box".

What is it???

[sepp2909]

We have many different SAN boxes. That is the problem. I want to find out which server is connected to which SAN box.

Thanks

>We have many different SAN boxes.

does this mean also different vendors?

[sepp2909]

Yes, also different vendors... ;-(

Hey Joe,

may be the inq-tool from emc² may answer your question:

# inq.hpux1100 -h | grep -i id
-sid : display Symmetrix Serial Number
-sw_wwn : display StorageWorks WWN and Serial Id
-hds_wwn : display HDS WWN and Serial Id
-s80_wwn : display S80 WWN and Serial Id
-invista_wwn : display Invista WWN and Serial Id
-shark_wwn : display IBM Shark WWN and Serial Id
-compaq_wwn : display Compaq WWN and Serial Id
-netapp_wwn : display Netapp WWN and Serial Id

I think one of your storage vendors is EMC² ;-)

You can get it from EMC-Download page:

Hi!

Didn't want to install inq on all our servers but we found a solution. Perhaps it hels someone in the future:
#!/usr/bin/sh

TMPFILE=/tmp/123
HOSTNAME=`hostname`

echo "HOSTNAME;HWPATH;SERIAL;VENDOR;CAPACITY;PRODID"
echo "selclass qualifier hard;info;wait;infolog" | cstm > $TMPFILE

# for i in `grep "Hardware path" /tmp/cstmdisks | awk '{print $3}'`

INDEX=0
grep "Hardware path" $TMPFILE | awk '{print $3}' | while read i
do
HWPATH[$INDEX]=$i
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

INDEX=0
grep Serial $TMPFILE | awk '{print $3}' | while read i
do
SERIAL[$INDEX]=$i
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

INDEX=0
grep Vendor $TMPFILE | awk '{print $5}' | while read i
do
VENDOR[$INDEX]=$i
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

INDEX=0
grep Capacity $TMPFILE | awk '{print $4}' | while read i
do
CAPACITY[$INDEX]=$i
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

INDEX=0
grep "Product Id" $TMPFILE | awk '{print $3}' | while read i
do
PRODID[$INDEX]=$i
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

INDEX=0
until [ INDEX -gt ${#HWPATH} ]
do
echo "$HOSTNAME;${HWPATH[$INDEX]};${SERIAL[$INDEX]};${VENDOR[$INDEX]};${CAPACITY[$INDEX]};${PRODID[$INDEX]}"
INDEX=`expr $INDEX + 1`
done

Hey Joe,

are you looking for the serial number of the box or the disks?

And more on one of my servers your script reports local and HDS disks but not the EMC2 disks.

Consider using "inq" tool, it can run without installation.

We are not using EMC2 so I can't check. The goal was to get the informations as I get in the script. The main problem was to find out the serial number of the box. From the internal disks I get the disk serial, it is ok but not needed!

Best regards
JOE
