How to get hard disk serial number

[gsjh]

Hi, I need help in getting hard disk serial number from firewall on checkpoint 12400 and smart-1 205 platform.

I have tried using the commands "show asset disk" and "cpinfo -y all" and it only show hard disk model number.

Any idea is there any command that is able to show the hard disk serial number?

Apparently smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever the device name is) will give you the serial number on some appliances.

Thanks for the command. It works!

Why do you need it in the first place?

Actually it is for audit purposes

Can you elaborate? I am curious 🙂
