Determine SCSI disk model?
da...@i-55.com
disk by viewing dmesg. In SCO I only see things like:
%tape - - - type=S ha=0 id=3 lun=0 bus=0 ht=slha
%disk - - - type=S ha=0 id=0 lun=0 bus=0 ht=slha
%Sdsk - - - cyls=1022 hds=138 secs=63 fts=stdb
Is there a way to determine the model of my SCSI disk without
resorting to a reboot or, heaven forbid, opening the case!?
hwconfig just gives the above.

By the way, I really want to do this to find out how many pins the
S3C875 SCSI (Ultra, single channel, 8bit 20MB/s, 16bit 40MB/s,
single ended or differential) has so we can purchase new disk (without
opening the case to see what we need since this machine is live).

Attached is a perl script I wrote many years ago that gets disk information
for SCSI disks on an OpenServer system, and creates groff input.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It's never broken anything on any of our systems,
but the script was written in 1997, and hasn't been tested on all current
versions of OpenServer.
You will have to comment out the lines with csspath and bigtmp.pl as
they're not on your systems, and aren't necessary.

Have a look at Technical Article #104990 it has uses scsiQuery
to list the type of SCSI disk.

If you have cdrecord (/usr/local/bin/cdrecord or /usr/lib/edge/cdrecord)
run it with LIBSCG_SCAN_ALL set in the environemnt, and with the
-scanbus option:
LIBSCG_SCAN_ALL= /path/to/cdrecord -scanbus.

have this command available...
/usr/lib/edge/bin/edge.tape -t /dev/rhd00
which might provide even more useful information.
On this system, it reports:

This script uses badtrk(ADM) to dump the SCSI disk vendor and product:

You probably copied the `badtrk` invokation from /usr/lib/mkdev/hd. The
"-e" option gives badtrk permission to destroy your disk (you're telling
it that this is a disk that's being newly initalized, so it's OK to
change the size of its alias block table -- which destroys existing
divisions). Fortunately, you aren't telling it to scan for bad blocks,
so it won't have any _reason_ to grow the table. Still, you should
remove that flag.
For the original poster: just run `badtrk -f /dev/rhd0a`, quit out of it
immediately. Run it against the active partition of whatever drive you
want to examine (/dev/rhd2a, /dev/rdsk/8sa, etc.) This displays drive
information like:
scsi version = 2
vendor = QUANTUM
product = XP34550W
OpenServer 5.0.7 adds a third printcfg line for SCSI disks:
%disk - - - type=S ha=0 id=0 lun=0 bus=0 ht=ad160 unit=0
%Sdsk - - - cyls=4462 hds=255 secs=63 unit=0 fts=stdb
%Sdsk-0 - - - Vnd=SEAGATE Prd=ST336752LW Rev=0004

That was the easiest solution. Thanks to you and everyone else.
