hardware Inventory Script - physical disks (RAID)????

Hi Guys, can anyone help. I'm currently in the process of writing an
inventory script using WMI for our Windows 2K/2K3 systems.

I'm trying to simply perform a count of physical disks within HP servers,
identifying logical disks isn't a problem as I can use the WMI Class:
Win32_LogicalDisk. But identifying disks that are part of hardware RAID
configurations seem to be more of a problem, has anyone come across this
before and have a resolution?????

Please help!!!!

 

Hi Tony,

I've got an other question. How can I enum the SCSI buses with WMI?

e.g. you may have three physical disks on SCSI channel 0, IDs 6,7,8 and
a tape drive on SCSI channel 1, ID 5.

Out of interest, were you able to obtain the cluster sizes from the volumes?

 

The most easy solution for HP-servers is the 'Surveyor-tool',
automatically installed if you use SmartStart. Otherwise, it's part of
the driver-package that most people install.

It's automatically scheduled to run once a week to make an inventory
of all hardware (and some software) on the computer. The most recent
output is in 'c:\compaq\survey\survey.txt'.
It's a plain text file, so you can use all scripting-techniques that
are available for these files.
