Here's a Hmmmm.....

Does anyone know a way to tell remotely what type (or even size) hard drive a system has?

All these news systems are going in with SDS drives and someone in our office finally said "we should document who has what drives".
Ya think?

Now we've got a bunch of system with SDS drives and no way to tell without crack'n the case.

The only command I now is done in the shell, which is ataShow

This will display all the hard drive and RAID information in hex.

Hope this helps

pretty sure that the maint command 'firm panel' shows amongst other things the hard drive type.

firm panel has been removed as a command

Thanks for the input.
I checked the Firm Panel command from Telnet - nope.

The ataShow command looks like a good start but I'll have to compare other systems to see what they show.
i.e. SATA, ATA, etc.
