serial number disk non HP

[Charles THISE]

Hi all,

How can i find the serial number of a disk non HP connected in FC directly in command line (without stm !).

When i use STM, i can find it, but i don't know the command used by stm.

In fact, i use a IBM ESS storage in SAN area connected to some HP-9000 L2000 server with hpux 11.00.
I must do a roll-out scsi (previous connection to my ESS) to fibre. for that, i must refind the right disk to reimport my VG's on the right vg.
The disk serial number is the links between them.

In advance, i thank you for your help.

Hi,

"ioscan -kfnC disk"
to find the device name associated with the disk.
/dev/rdsk/c#t#d#

and use the command

"diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c#d#d#"

You can use also cstm ( command line stm). search for expamples...

The last, and worst, method is diskinfo -v

First 8 bytes (not into '()') must be S/N of disk.


Good Luck

Hello,

i thank you for your answer, but if look well, diskinfo don't give back the serial number but just the Vendor et disk type, etc...

But not serial number (what's shame...).

Any ideas else ?

Have you tried it in sam?

sam >disk and file systems > disk devices

see also the manpage of fcmsutil,

man fcmsutil

Hi,

Try this,

ioscan -fnkC disk |pg

Find the disk hardware address.

Then generate this report,

echo 'selclass type disk;info;wait;infolog' |cstm >/tmp/disk_info.txt

more /tmp/disk_info.txt

You should get the serial no of the disk from this file.

Hope this helps.
