The reporter didn't supply much information. I'm not sure why any manufacturer would worry about a serial number (in VPD page 0x80) for a SAS disk. The SAS standard mandates 4 world wide unique naa-5 (64 bit) identifiers for each SAS disk: - one for the logical unit - another for the target device - one each for the target ports (SAS disks are dual ported (one early Fujitsu model wasn't))
These naa-5 addresses are found in the device identification VPD page (0x83) whose support is mandatory in SPC-2,3,4 . The reporter should look at: sg_inq -i /dev/xxx or: sg_vpd --page=di /dev/xxx Doug Gilbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
