I have been asked this question more than I have fingers and toes so I figured I would do a quick post providing the Windows PowerShell that will retrieve the Serial Number for any LUN connected to a Windows Server.

$AllDevices = gwmi –Class Win32_DiskDrive –Namespace ‘rootCIMV2’ ForEach ($Device in $AllDevices) { if($Device.Model –like ‘PURE FlashArray*’) { @{ Name=$Device.Name; Caption=$Device.Caption; Index=$Device.Index; SerialNo=$Device.SerialNumber; } | Format–Table –AutoSize } } |
The Index corresponds to what the Windows Disk Management displays. Now there is a 1:1 mapping of Device Index and Serial Number that can be used for automation tasks.
