Multiple bar codes on the 600GB disk

Post by MeatBadness »

Folks,
I need to dispose of a corrupt disk. There are 7 barcodes on the disk. Which one is the asset number?

Thanks,

That one *points to the one in your CMDB*.

The 3PAR disk has at least two and sometimes more S/Ns. It will always have the serial number from the OEM (disk) vendor and a 10-digit HPE serial.

Then I would guess that sticker fell off.

Anyways, the important thing for you when disposing of a disk is to ensure you sign out the correct S/N from your CMDB. So I would check the CMDB for which assets are linked to the main asset(3PAR) and see which one matches.

If the assets linked to your asset only has 10-digit S/N and you don't have one on your drive, you could try and reach of to HPE to see if they can convert the OEM S/N to a HPE S/N. If this disk already was a replacement, you probably wouldn't find a 10-digit SN as most spare parts doesn't have a HPE S/N.
