When I have used hardware RAID, the vender supplies software that will do what you want. But it is tied to the vender's hardware, not general.

I have been working on getting serial numbers electronically off of hard drives for various reasons. I have been successful with IDE and most SCSI drives (using hdparm and scsiinfo). However I am running into trouble with ones that are on AACRAID/PERC3 adaptors and actually in a RAID array. The only serial number I can seem to grab is the one for the entire volume which is just assigned. Are there any tools available to get the serial number off the drives in the array? Or can I get some pointers on writing such a tool? Thank you.
