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.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
$AllDevices = gwmi -Class Win32_DiskDrive -Namespace 'rootCIMV2' ForEach ($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.
