Hard Disk Model Number

[Pilu1978]

Hi,

I am looking to collect the Model Number, S/N, Type etc of the local hard disk on HP Proliant servers using powercli. Esxi 6.x are running on these servers.

Pls help.

Did you already check this Re: Getting Serial Number Info from VMHost ?

[Pilu1978]

Thanks for your reply.

The link you shared is to find out the vmhost serial number but I am looking for details of local hard disk of the physical servers.

Sorry I do know how to retrieve local hard drive information using esxcli.

Do you have iLO on these servers?

Then you could have a look at the HPEiLOCmdlets.

There are sample scripts available.

Getting physical HDD information (size, number of disks) installed on ESXi host with POWERCLI

Many thanks LucD.

This does't seem to list HDD model number. There is an advisory about HPE SSD drives failing after a specific amount of time, and they list HPE model numbers of the affected drives. This command doesn't return the model number, just the vendor. However, one of the options that can be returned is "IsSSD", which could help. If you have no drives marked "True", then you have nothing to worry about with this advisory.
