uname -i or getconf MACHINE)IDENT produces no value required for a new software install.
environment:
hpux 11.11
model:9000/800/rp7410

Does anyone know what is missing to get this value?

Did you try # machinfo

This will give you info on your server env?

sorry pervius anser was not finisched:

I believe you will have to get an HP CE to reset your machine ID. The tools to do so are not available to ordinary customers.

Hi:

Did you have a board replacement recently?

If I recall correctly, only an HP engineer can set this value, using the 'ssconfig' tool.

Your best bet is to open a support call with HP and also look at the description of _CS_MACHINE_IDENT in the confstr(3C) manpage.

# man 3C confstr
