HP-UX version 11.00.01 Configuring Disk Drives 4-13
Determining Disk Drive Characteristics
To display information about a specific disk, enter
diskinfo char_device
char_device is the character special file for that disk, as in the following
example:
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0:
vendor: SEAGATE
product id: ST32550W
type: direct access
size: 2097029 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512
SCSI disks can be further identified by the product ID field. The number displayed
does not correspond to the Stratus model number of the disk, but rather to an
“inquiry response” derived from querying the disk firmware itself using a SCSI
inquiry command. The inquiry response often resembles a product number or
product number family.
See the diskinfo(1M) man page for more information.
If you have a disk hardware problem and are working with a Stratus service
engineer, reporting the inquiry response provides useful information such as
firmware revision, disk mechanism, form factor, and capacity.
