Re: Disk Identify

either you can check with command "fdsik -l" or "cat /proc/partitions"

if the disk is directly connected, then the device name in /proc/partitions file has an entry like

it will be more clear if you give your scenario.

Re: Disk Identify

I would go with

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

You could probably figure it out from the output.
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"

Re: Disk Identify

If it's a ProLiant and the ProLiant Support Pack is loaded, you can tell the disk to flash to identify itself from the System Management Homepage.
