Ernesto,

Try the following:

uname -i

Do a 'man uname' to be sure.

Hope that helps.

"uanme -i" for the ID or "uname -n" for host name.

Your hostid you can find with: uname -i
This 'uname -i' you can use on HPUX and AIX.
On Linux, Solaris and True64 it is called 'hostid'.

It is always handy to know the URL:

Hi:

# hostname

...yields the hostname.

# uname -i

...yields the NODENAME (for uucp) which is generally the same but could be different.

Regards!

"uname -i" is the easiest way to find out the host ID. Even the out put of the command /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest will have the hostID of the system.

Hi Ernesto,

If your question is in relation to a Flexlm license. You can use:

1) the output of uname -i (Note this is in decimal & you may need to lead it with a #)
2) the ouput of uname -i converted to hexidecimal => #echo $(uname -i) 16o p | dc
3) the MAC address of the base lan port stripped of the 0x (This is usually at HW path 0/0/0/0)

It would be nice if all HPs had unique HostIDs as Sun does.
Could be worse - Windoze has 4 diff IDs you could use ;^)

See the following link for more Flexlm info:

Ernesto,

FYI, At startup the system figures out what it's hostname is by looking at /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

The system name can be set differently
uname -S xxx
hostname yyyy.
