[CentOS] Getting info on hardware RAID
Hello everyone, I'm doing an audit of all our servers here (there aren't that many maybe around 5-10) and one of the things I'm doing is taking note of each server's hardware specs (processor, memory, etc). I can't seem to figure out how to get the information for the hard drives. The drives are in a hardware RAID5 array and are all SCSI types. I would like to get each physical SCSI drive's specifications (like, disk capacity). Also, we have another server that also uses Hardware RAID and there's a RAID5 and a RAID1 array in there and I would also like to get as much information as I have on them. How do I get this information from the console? Is this possible? I don't have physical access to the servers and can only log in remotely. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

HP provides the tool called hpacucli which can determine everything regarding your RAID controller and discs. What kind of hardware RAID solution do you have? If you can't determine, the output of lspci might help. Zizi PS: I hope it won't be a HTML mail :/
