Is there any way to find the serial number of an HP over the network?

Nope....you gotta do the manual thing and open the door and write it down.
I think they did this so we would always have the job security of having to walk down the hall to the computer room and find it...

I suppose all you will get is:
uname -i
Display the machine identification number (or the node name, if the machine identification number cannot be determined).
The serial number is writen on the box...

You can indeed see the systems serial number online using ignites print_manifest command - but it only works on new servers, ie. L class, N class, not sure but probably also R, A class and possibly V class.

Only the older servers will you have to find it on the outside of the server.

If you have a system which does not support FRU IDs (currently every system except the N- and L-Class) take a look into the predictive configuration. The serial no. should be entered there.
On a V2500/V2600 you can execute on the Teststation the command jf-ccmd_info
