serial number

[cswamy1]

Hi

Can any one know how to find out serial number of a SUN machine.

In HP if you give uname -a you get a serial number but in SUN we are not getting that. We may have to use another command...

Pls do the needful ASAP.

The serial number is on the case somewhere.
On Ultra 2's it is on the right hand side of the machine near the front, as well as on the back.
On the bigger enterprise machines it is inside the front door, and on the back.

The only number held in the software is the hostid which is read with the command 'hostid'.

Hi Harris

Thanks for your reply. I am actually taking inventory of huge list of servers so i would like to know the serial number using the command. I can use uname -a for HP similarly i need to find out which command is suitable to find the serial number of the SUN box.

As stated in an earlier messages there isn't a Solaris command that will give you the serial number.

I think we can use sysinfo with SI_HW_SERIAL to get the serial number. But i am not sure of the syntax.
