Determine drive speed from ECC or SYMCLI?
Looking at a new environment does anyone know how to query a Symmetrix (or Clariion) to determine the speeds of the physical drives in the system?
I know some of the part numbers off-hand, but for older (or brand new) systems it is hard to keep track of the exact part numbers. Does anyone know a query to confirm that a Seagate CUDA180 is a 7200k drive instead of having to hit Google and hope you can find a description match?
Yes I know you could go and check the PO, that is cheating, looking for a technical answer if there is one.
Thanks.

Please refer to primus emc167756 "How to tell the disk speed of a disk on a Symmetrix array that supports a device in ControlCenter 6.0".

Does anyone know of a way to do this with SYMCLI or some other non Control Center 6.0 method?

BTW here's the output of the "symdisk list" and "symdisk show" commands.

You can always have a quick word to your local friendly EMC Customer Engineer. They can provide all of this information directly from the Symmetrix bin file. Otherwise your local CE can provide a copy of the file drives.txt from the Symmetrix Service Processor. It is in the SymmWin, ConfigWizard directory and contains a list of the latest drive models, part number, size & speed. Once you determine the installed drive models through SYMCLI commands this "cheat sheet" should give you the rest
Best Regards,
Michael.

I knew that there was something in the SP that told SymWin the different types of drives .. But I'm not a SymWin expert at all !!
Nice to know that there is a "drives.txt" file !!!
ThX !!

Anyone noticed that the 7200 rpm drives will show up as 7500 rpm drives ?

Just F.Y.I.
It's a documentation error
The LC Fibre Drives ARE actually 7200 RPM as per the EMC Sales literature but the SymmWin program has them listed at 7500 RPM. I will see about getting that corrected....

Oh well, if 7k2 will be mentioned, that would be acurate indeed !
