Hi,
I am sorry, I confused serial number/product number in my previous post.
To get the physical drive serial number information with 'megarc' you use the following command.
* Megarc - physdrvSerialInfo -chX|-chAll -idY|-idAll -aN
Objective:
Display physical drive serial number information.
Parameters:
-aN : adapter number [must]
-chX|-chAll: Channel number[must]
-idY|-idAll: Target number[must]
Description:
This cmd displays the physical drive serial number information in a formatted form to the user.
