I was reviewing thread, How to find out which hdd is \Device\Harddisk#\DR# ?, and I was hoping to get a more specific answer. Here is the problem:
3. Tried to run Get-PhysicalDisk | select deviceid,friendlyname,serialnumber,size | sort -Property deviceid, but does not work on Server 2008 R2.
I suspect that this is one of our Fortress external USB HDDs that are configured for Bare Metal Backup only and thus don't have a drive letter associated. They are supposed to be swapped out in the evening or morning outside of normal work hours, but it's possible the person responsible switched it in the middle of the day. I'll swap them in and out to see if this proves out, but is there anywhere that this information is stored, cached, or written in runes that I can determine a more definitive match to the drive? Having to swap them is a pain as they go offsite and i'll have to do it over a couple of weeks, so a shortcut would be awesome!! It's an HP, so I have iLo4, but a quick look and I don't see anything there either.
Thanks,
Jeff
