SLES9 iostat -En

Question

With Solaris if I do iostat -En I can check if my disk has any stats soft error or hard error.

$iostat -En
c1t0d0          Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: SEAGATE  Product: ST373207LSUN72G  Revision: 045A Serial No: 3532D7ZL    
Size: 73.40GB <73400057856 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

But the same command doesn't work with SUSE Linux.Is there an alternative command use in SLES9?

You can use the dmesg command to look for any device errors logged by the kernel.

Here is a similar question for a different Linux distro, but should be applicable to you:

Check for hard disk errors / signs of failure on CentOS Server

I believe solaris iostat reads this data from drive's SMART, so you might try to use smartctl/smartd (and it shows a lot of additional information): smartctl --all /dev/sda
