Hi Wila,

Thanks for the commands, they were really helpful to me. But for the 1st one, all i get is partition info. I would like to get the exact physical disk details. Is it possible only if we have the Server Manufacturer's tools ?? or possible through commands also??

Here's a good guide for ESX commands...

Sure.. my bad, you asked for disks, not partitions.

Using fdisk:

fdisk -l

Using proc:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

cat /proc/ide/piix

also try

ls /proc/scsi

ls /proc/ide
