smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive

controller info, not drive info.
Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial
numbers from a
hardware RAID setup?
Since you are using HW RAID the tools you mentioned cannot be used to
get the HD serial numbers. This is because the RAID controllers
completely hides the physical disks from the OS. You would need tools
for the RAID controller itself, those should be able to get the info
you need.
That is my understanding as well. I just scoured a system with a 3Ware
9550 and tried to get physical device information without using any of
the 3ware tools. I was unable to get ANY information about the actual
disks other than the size of the array/device being reported by the RAID
card.
Best,
