The 'smartctl' command provides various information from the S.M.A.R.T. firmware on the hard drives. For example:

Code:

# smartctl -H /dev/hda

lspv is the basic command to list the drives configured on the system. You can add in the disk to get details of an individual disk (lspv hdisk0). There are several flags that can be used as well, such as -l which will give you a listing of the logical volumes on the disk. The 'man' page plenty of examples. lspv only works with disks in the Available state.

Also, there is the command 'lsdev' to list out the devices. In your case, since you are looking for disks, 'lsdev -Cc disk' would be the command to use. That will list all disks configured on the system, those in the Available state and in the Defined state.

Available = I see it, and I can use it.
Defined = It was here, don't know where it is now.
