how to read serial number from drives connected to PERC 4e/Di

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Hi,

LsiLogics "MegaRC" tool will give you this information as well. (It is available in the download section on www.lsilogic.com.

To get information about al drives connected to all channels on your controller:
./megarc -phys -chAll -idAll -a0 


Example output:
	Finding Devices On Each MegaRAID Adapter...


	Adapter 0, Channel 2, Target ID 0	----------------------------------------
	Type: DISK                 Vendor      : SAMSUNG
	Product: SP2014N           Revision    : VC10
	Synchronous   : No         Wide-32     : No    Wide-16: No
	LinkCmdSupport: No         TagQ support: No    RelAddr: No
	Removable     : No         SoftReset   : No    AENC   : No


	Adapter 0, Channel 3, Target ID 0	----------------------------------------
	Type: DISK                 Vendor      : Maxtor 6
	Product: Y160P0            Revision    : YAR4
	Synchronous   : No         Wide-32     : No    Wide-16: No
	LinkCmdSupport: No         TagQ support: No    RelAddr: No
	Removable     : No         SoftReset   : No    AENC   : No


Another option is to use the linttylog ( linttylog-1.00-0.i386.rpm ) tool and read the information directly from the RAID Controller tty log file. In the Controller log you would see something like:

T13: Physical device info:
T13: ID  NVRState  Vendor    Product           Rev    6   7  56
T13: --  --------  --------  ----------------  ----  --  --  --
T13: 00  Online    SEAGATE   ST3300007LW       D703  01  3e  0f
T13: 01  Online    SEAGATE   ST3300007LW       D703  01  3e  0f
