is there any way to get serial number or hardware details of my SAN storage.

Hi,

log into the SANs webinterface. Most vendors show the serial number there.

Not sure how to all the server details but try the following to get some useful info.

1. esxcli storage core path list to get detailed information regarding the paths.

2.   esxcli storage core path list -d <naaID>  to list the detailed information of the corresponding paths for a specific device.

3.   esxcli storage nmp device list lists of LUN multipathing information.

lspci -vvv

esxcfg-scsidevs -l

Log into ESXi, ssh or console.

Run ‘ls -l /’ to get the UUID’s of the bootbank and altbootbank:

~ # ls -l /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Oct 27 17:55 altbootbank -> /vmfs/volumes/bebbef72-6cbc41fa-b169-68d3824c6d51
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Sep 17 01:11 bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Oct 27 17:55 bootbank -> /vmfs/volumes/94671c74-55d3efd8-6f90-332c181fc3cf

Use ‘vmkfstools -P filesystem_path’ to get the disk id

~ # vmkfstools -P /vmfs/volumes/bebbef72-6cbc41fa-b169-68d3824c6d51
