Finding a serial number

Doug Short — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 16:57:24 GMT

Is there a command to find the system's serial number? I'm on a RP7400 that my client owns, and cannot find evidence of any serial numbers. Any help is appreciated.

Try this:

echo 'selclass qualifier all;info;wait;infolog' | /usr/sbin/cstm |grep -i "system serial number"

There's these commands:

/opt/hpsmc/common/bin/getsn

/usr/local/sysinfo/getsn

I believe first is installed with ISEE, and last with sysinfo301

Thanks guys. After revisiting CSTM I now see the S/N. It's odd though, I'm used to HP hardware starting with USR-------- where as this one apparently starts with DEH------, so I suppose that is what was throwing me off. Thanks again for your responses.

You can also do getconf MACHINE_SERIAL
