Here's the command/tool for the Enterprise SSDs.
I opened a PMR for this.
Revised tech doc will be out soon.
Notice the Life Used column.

But what useful information does this tell you?
Perhaps I am blinded by the title of this thread: "Checking life of SSD drives".
The key bit of information I see is at the very end: NO READ INTENSIVE SSDS FOUND.
So, as Larry said, this macro is only useful if you have "read intensive SSDs" and not the SSDs I have: 5B11, 59C2?
As far as make/model/serial number there are a bazillion other ways to get that.

Upgraded to V7R3,
I could now run the command.

And it works for the Read Intensive devices, not 'the usual suspects'
that most of you have in your systems.
