How to get disk serial number

[Ming Zhao]

Hi,

Is someone can tell me which command I can use to get disk/LUN serial number or identifier?

Thanks in advance

Ming

[Paul Sperry]

try
ioscan -fn -C disk

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Hi Ming

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

Kind regards,

Robert-Jan.

Try:

diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#

(just replace #'s with the correct numbers)

Hi,
Have a look at this post to know how to get it either using mstm or programmatically.

I don't think ioscan or diskinfo would give you the information.

Check the "stm" recommendations in this post:

Ming, I posted a question a while back and receive a resonse that answers your question. Look at Terry Blevin's response in this thread: http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xa2aae7613948d5118fef0090279cd0f9,00.html

Thanks everyone.

Actually I know the answer you posted before I post this question. The Problem is here:

1. cstm can't show the serial# of XP LUNs.
2. "diskinfo -v" or other program only can give you serial number of local attached disk. They can't give the serial number of XP LUNs(I'm not sure what will be happened on EMC), becuase all XP LUNs will show the same serial number, which is not I want.
3. You can't use LVM commands to help you on this question, becuase LVM commands don't work on scratch disk/LUNs.

Thanks,

Ming

You need to dig into CommandView XP to see these serial numbers. In CommandView VA there's serial number (WWN) for each LUN, so I guess for XP is the same story.
Why do you need these serial numbers? I believe they are only used by XP management software. And you can not attach them to your contract because they are not reflecting real hardware
