Find a disk serial number on a VMware vSphere ESXi HP Proliant host

I had an issue on a hard drive on my HP Proliant.

You must have installed your ESXi with the special HP distribution (available on VMware website)

STEP 1
  • On your vSphere client, log in your server (directly the ESXi host, not the vSphere appliance).
  • Click on your host, configuration, go to security profile
  • Select the SSH service, Options, Start.
    You can find other ways to enable SSH here, or using search engines.
  • Don't forget to disable SSH after your operation.
STEP 2

To find informations and SN about the disks, we will use hpssacli.
You can find further informations about this command here and here.

  • Log in your ESXi host using putty
    • Username : root
    • Password: your current root password
  •  cd /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/
  • In order to show controler informations
    ./hpssacli ctrl all show detail
