working out the type of disk array

Is there a command to tell you what type / model of disk array is attached to the server. I need to find out about 15 servers and their associated disk arrays at a remote site in Greece.

Can this be done, any help would be much appreicated

Re: working out the type of disk array

Hi JOhn,

Ioscan will provide you the available disks/LUNs in the system. The product numbers can help you understand the array types.

armdsp will help you to find if there are any VA7xxx arrays attached.

arraydsp will show AUTORAID attached to the system.

amdsp will show FC60 arrays on the system.

I am not sure about checking the SAN connected arrays. Maybe ioscan will be useful in such cases.

With regards,
Mohan.

Re: working out the type of disk array

Hi,

nothing better then ioscan.
If you are looking for about disks then

ioscan -fnC disk

and in last column under 'Description' should be the information.
Anyway it can be like product number.
If you want please put those product numbers here ..... we can check which type of disk array is.

HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio
