Hi all,
I just want to detail a bit. Our team works on Common Hardware Database
project for Java SE Quality organization and we use agent based approach
for picking up hardware information. This agent relied on the third
party utility 'sysinfo' which works only for Solaris up to version 9. We
look for reliable way to automatically pick the following set of data
about in-box storage devices:
1. Type (to distinguish between HDD, CD, DVD, and floppies)
2. Size for HDD
3. Vendor
4. Model
5. Serial number if possible
As Shannon wrote we tried a few tools but looks like the information we
seek is distributed over output of different tools. Chances are high
that we just don't know about the proper tool so we are seeking your help.
Thanks a lot in advance,
-AMA
