Efficient way to keep track HP-UX Disc Inventories

[finas]

Hi HP-UX Expert,
I'm not sure whether this question is more towards the management side. But I'm pretty sure the HP-UX expert must have your efficient way to keep track of this HP-UX Disc/VG/ inside servers.
Could you please advise me on how to keep track on HP-UX disc inventories inside our HP-UX servers? Ease system admin during the future planning etc. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

Do you want to know about the internal disks?
"ioscan -fnCdisk" may help you, but the hw-pathes on different servers will be different too.
You may also run
/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

It could be hard to see from a commands output if the disk is internal or external, because there are too many options (direct connected disks, smartarray connected, FC connected ...).

You can redirect the vgdisplay -v output in a file .It will give you the vg information along with the disk information.

============
use the following command to keep the disk info with serial no.s
#echo 'scl q hard;info;wait;il;done' | cstm | egrep 'Hard|Qual|Serial'

Hope it will help.If really assign points
