How many hours my server worked?

Hi everybody

 

Is there a way to know how many hours a refurbished server (Proliant DL380 Gen8) has worked in the past?

A customer bought a used server and would like to know how many hours it has "on its shoulders".

I knew that somehow it is possible to detect how many hours the hard drives have been turned on. This would be enough for me. I currently have VMWare ESXi 7 installed

Hello,

 

If the server is  refurbished, we will not be able to retrieve the worked data.

 

Cheers...

Whether it's new or refurbished should make no difference. I'm not asking to know the warranty, but a command to know how many hours a hard disk has worked (which I know were installed together with the server)
