It is actually perfect I ended up pulling the part number off page D1 via inquiry 12,01,D1,00,FF,00 though I did not find the WWN. Some of the pages the SCSI manual defines say pages should be open and have information however most the pages( 80, 82, c1…ect )pull blank or gibberish for information.
This was very tricky to figure out based on the information available from the web so just for anyone looking I’m going to clarify the inquiry command Basically its a set of information in Hex bytes the normal command to inquiry the drive is 12,00,00,ff,00 However after seeing confusing diagrams you will figure out that byte 2 needs to be "Enabled" to access the EVPD (vital Product data) the third byte is defined as the page number. Both the forth and sixth bytes do not need to access information but the 5th byte holds a value to how much information you may return (in hex F is the highest valued number).
If that was as confusing as this command is, here is a brake down
Inquiry Command Enable VPD Page Number (ven uniq) * Ammount to return *
12, 01, 80, 00, FF, 00
Remember you need to read what comes into the buffer of the hard drive to view any of the information this command returns. As far as the page numbers goes that is based on specs set by the manufacturer. The information pertaining to the part number at least in Seagate SCSI and fiber channel drives is found in page D1 with this command. Hope that helps anyone who ran into this issue as well I know it can be heck to figure out especially with the graphs these manuals give.
Excuse the grammar if anyone ever has any questions about this drop me a email DustinSe@gmail.com
