Getting the LUN Serial Number

The following script can be used in PowerShell to get the Serial Number for either physical or virtualized host:

Windows PowerShell:

ForEach ($Device in $AllDevices) {
if($Device.Model -like 'PURE FlashArray*') {
@{
Name=$Device.Name;
Caption=$Device.Caption;
Index=$Device.Index;
SerialNo=$Device.SerialNumber;
} | Format-Table -AutoSize
}
}
