I don't believe the serial number is kept in software, so you open the
computer case and look at the face of the drive. It will be on sticker
on the drive face. Also, if you kept the box it came in, often it is on
the box near the UPC code. I assume you really mean serial number, and
not SCSI ID number, which you should be able to get from software. As
your SCSI controller boots up, there is usually a key combination you
can hit, CTRL-A or the like, that can list the devices if it doesn't
already show them.

You can try "smartctl -i <device>". On some this works.

I think some drives put it in the code page, so any code page reader
should be able to extract it. E.g. I think Seagate has "Sea tools" on
their web site, and it should be able to do so.

mode page, modepage reader.

Actually there are several types of pages such as informational data
pages and log pages, to name a few.

The serial number is in an 'Inquiry' data page.

If it works on "some" then it doesn't check the 'Unit serial number page',
page 80h.
If it doesn't (or the drive doesn't support Extended Vital Product Data,
EVPD) then the serial number may be in different places depending on
drive manufacturer (ie vendor specific).
Get an app that reads the 'Unit serial number page'.
