Hi,

we figured out, that the serial number of a sd disk isn't available, if the
hardware is not from SUN. This check is done in the sd driver by comparing
the inquiry data against the Vendor SUN.
Is there a bypass for this check of the inquiry data, to get the serial
number?

Thanks a lot,

Uli

Have you tried iostat -En?

Not at all.  Solaris will return the serial number as returned by a
SCSI inquiry command.  Most hardware returns a serial number here, some
(generally non-standard) things don't.

This unfortunately does not help the OP (i'm  sure he has tried iostat). 
All of your disks have Sun product details, and thus return serial 
numbers. In my config, I have a mix of disks - the Sun products return 
serial numbers, the non-Sun do not.

I unfortunately cannot get scsiinfo to build under S9 or Express, so 
cannot try that :-(

Hi again,

 I tried this with iostat -En,  too, my output is ok for Solaris 8, but on
Solaris 9 the Serial No. is missing:
