How to Retrieve Hard Drive Info in OpenManage?

I have OM 4.x/Win Server 2003 deployed on my systems, and I would like to find out the hard drive infrastructure of my servers(for example HDD RPM? capacity in GB?). Since I inherited many of them, I did not specify the drives. Is there a way to query OpenManage as to what drives are installed?

Thanks!

    You can run omreport storagecommands to view this information and write it to a file. Documenatation for this command can be found in the Server Administrator CLI user's guide,

    Thanks for your response, Carrie!

    The omreport storage arraydisks command brought back the manufacturer drive ID, just like my WMI script did. Sadly, there is no information about drive temperature or rpm in Openmanage, though.

    I guess I now understand why, though. There is nothing in the SCSI commands manual about rpms. They do have a temperature page in the log sense command, but maybe not all drive manufacturers support that one.

    I now have a way to verify hard drive size/rpm, if a bit inelegant.

    Thanks again!
