Jul 8, 2022 at 15:35 comment added Jono Can u do this based on the uuid of a hard drive?
Nov 16, 2021 at 21:07 comment added Brian Thomas my RHEL7 is insistant to report the WWN only!! NOt sure whats up there... $ udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sda | grep ID_SERIAL E: ID_SERIAL=350000c0f01e5dabc E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=50000c0f01e5dabc I just realized it must be my PCIe3 SCSI card doing that!! Putting the WWN in a serial placeholder or something...
Jun 19, 2017 at 5:25 comment added Johann @ron Just tested this again. My version of udevadm (systemd 229) reports an ID_WWN field. For the drives in my system, there is also no ID_SCSI_SERIAL nor anything analogous (no ID_ATA_SERIAL): E: ID_SERIAL=TOSHIBA-TR150_23SC51E8J2BI ... E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=23SC51E8J2BI ... E: ID_WWN=0x5e83a97200463ff3 ... E: ID_WWN_WITH_EXTENSION=0x5e83a97200463ff3

May 15, 2017 at 17:14 comment added ron only reference is my first hand experience with WD, Seagate, HGST hard drives comparing values at the terminal to what is written on the label. Hard drives are primarily enterprise/data center grade versus consumer desktop.
May 12, 2017 at 18:13 comment added Johann @ron Interesting! Do you have any references that define wwn?
May 12, 2017 at 18:03 comment added ron grep ID_SCSI_SERIAL may be what actually gives the serial number of the drive, as opposed to the world wide name (wwn) reported under ID_SERIAL.
