iDrac Redfish JSON for Drive Serial Number

Question

Howdy!

FNG here! ;-)

Trying to get Drive SerialNumber from a NonRaid Controller slot, as seen in this redfish schema:

http://redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/Drive.v1_2_0.json

I've used iDrac /v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Controllers/NonRAID.Slot.2-1 and shows attached drives to that specific controller. Now I need the drives SerialNumber, but cannot find an iDRAC Redfish call to give that data....

Any ideas? Or is it just too painfully obvious, that answering me would embarrass me? ;-)

Thanks!!!

John

Hello I don't see the drive PPID/serial listed in redfish. You will need to use another method to retrieve that information. Thanks

Can you update iDRAC FW to 2.60.60.60 and try. 2.60.60.60 FW have below enhancements

- Added Redfish support for storage inventory and monitoring.
- Added Redfish support for network inventory and monitoring.
- Added Redfish support for memory (DIMMs) inventory and statistics.
- Added Redfish support for Update Service.

You can download 2.60.60.60 FW from below link

Revisiting an old Q&A.... the schema shows:
"SerialNumber": {
                    "type": [
                        "string",
                        "null"
                    ],
                    "readonly": true,
                    "description": "The serial number for this drive.",
                    "longDescription": "The value of this property shall be a manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the drive."

So is this just not implemented in the iDRAC implementation?

Can you share the server model?

Latest iDRAC FW have support to monitor drives using redfish. Can you also let me know the iDRAC FW version installed on the system? Below is one of the sample URI where you can find drive information and you can find serial number as one of the attribute in below URI

https:// /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Drives/Disk.Direct.0-0:RAID.Embedded.1-1
