If you computer is L, N, A500 or the new rp you should be able to use mstm or xstm

select system, tab to tools and select information then run.

It may be listed as FRU (Field Replacement Number) as well as serial number.

You can also write a script to do this using cstm... I'm sure other people will reply with this.

echo "sel path system\ninfolog\nexit"|cstm|grep "System Serial Number"

As long as you have the OnlineDiag software installed (you should) the above will work.

I can remeber at least tree:

1- stm

2- /var/opt/ignite/local/manifest/manifest

3- See it on the box.

Use search click on forums, click on bolean ant type serial +number for more responses.

The only "sure" way is to look at the physical number on the machine. If the system board is replaced then the internal "serial number" will change.

Harry - when an HP engineer changes the internal system board he is 'supposed' to run ss_config (or its new replacement ss_update) and reset the serial number of the machine back to what it was before the board swap - this way no need to have your support contact updated. We just had a few done and this is what the engineer did.
