Synopsis
hpshowdisk -v | -h | -n | -I <idx> | -p| -d | -s
Description
The hpshowdisk utility helps with the identification of the disks recognized by the system. It
can be very useful in situations where the system has lots of disks, typically on SAN architectures.
In addition to the device name and size, it includes information about disk controller, SAN
storage devices WWID identifications, and the SAN logical disks LUN numbers.
The hpshowdisk utility is internally used by SSTK scripts to display the “available disks” menu
during installations. In addition, it is externally used with the RDP product, which by default it
calls the RDP “showdisk” application; SSTK scripts use the -n option to avoid this external
application call.

Examples
The following example shows the hpshowdisk output for an HP Integrity system with 19 disks
of the following configuration:
• 5 smart array disks (disks 15 to 19)
• 3 SAN disks through q-logic HBA cards (disks 9 to 11)
• 6 SAN disks through emulex HBA cards (disks 3 to 8)
• 5 LSI disks through emulex HBA cards (disks 1, 2, 12, 13 and 14)
