3Please take my previous comment about how to ask good questions seriously! Drop the "hi" and "thanks", make sure the first few lines or the question introduce the question instead of being meta data so that the home page summaries are useful, and **always show what attempts you have made to solve problems yourself**. I answered this question by copy and pasting a bit of it into google and copy and pasting a bit from the result summaries back to you (after checking it in my terminal). – Caleb Jun 17 '11 at 11:04

_SCSI ID_ is not precisely defined thing, reference this discussion http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/scsi_ids.html – catpnosis Jan 30 '16 at 17:55

I don't have /proc/scsi/scsi on my system with 2.6.39.1 kernel. I would use 'lsscsi' command:
~> lsscsi -v
[0:0:0:0] disk ATA ST3500418AS CC38 /dev/sda
dir: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0 [/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0]
[1:0:0:0] disk ATA WDC WD2500KS-00M 02.0 /dev/sdb
dir: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/1:0:0:0 [/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0]

2.6.38.6 here and I do have it. I wonder if there is a kernel config option for providing that interface. The reference I found to using that proc entry was as old as the hills. Also my distro doesn't have `lsscsi` by default although I see there is an optional package for it. – Caleb Jun 17 '11 at 19:01

7To add, modern `lsblk -S` can show HOST:CHANNEL:TARGET:LUN numbers too. – catpnosis Jan 30 '16 at 17:46

1This does not show which SCSI ids correspond to which system devices. – catpnosis Jan 30 '16 at 17:04

@MatthiasUrlichs does exist for me on `5.18.6-zen1-1-zen`. Perhaps you kernel has some setting disabled that creates that dir. – Hi-Angel Jul 20 '22 at 08:42

You can use the links in /dev/disk/by-id:
[root@krxl02cn05 by-id]# pwd
/dev/disk/by-id
[root@krxl02cn05 by-id]# ls -rtl
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 12 01:40 scsi-3600605b005d8655019aa31faf0812bae -> ../../sda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 12 01:40 scsi-3600605b005d8655019aa31faf0812bae-part2 -> ../../sda2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 12 01:40 scsi-3600605b005d8655019aa31faf0812bae-part1 -> ../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 12 01:50 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88550008 -> ../../sdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 12 01:50 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88460007 -> ../../sdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 12 01:50 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88260006 -> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 12 01:54 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88260006-part1 -> ../../sdb1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 12 04:56 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88460007-part1 -> ../../asm-disk1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 12 04:59 scsi-3600144f09a214698000054db88550008-part1 -> ../../asm-disk2
So, the scsi id of /dev/sdc is 3600144f09a214698000054db88460007

1Incorrectly downvoted answer. `by-id` shows WWID which is valid SCSI identificator, even though `by-id` not necessarily shows all disks. Sometimes, `/dev/disk/by-path` can show SCSI Ids too. Example `ls -l /dev/disk/by-path` outputs `pci-0000:00:07.1-scsi-1:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0`. So, `sr0` have SCSI Host:BUS:Target_ID:LUN `1:0:0:0`. This is not SCSI disk, though. – catpnosis Jan 30 '16 at 17:35

Actually, `lsscsi --scsi_id` shows `scsi-*` matching id from `/dev/disk/by-id` (if present). – catpnosis Jan 30 '16 at 17:42
