current machine identifier

Kurt Beyers. — Tue, 02 Apr 2002 06:10:53 GMT

Hi,

I needed to move a software license to a new IP address of the server (via www.webware.hp.com) and I didn't know my "current machine identifier". I managed to get around by using the order number, but I'm wondering if I can find this identifier in the output of a command. I know the system handle of the server (or do I have to ask it to HP), but he wouldn't accept this as the machine identifier.

Thanks,
Kurt

I think it's in ..

# uname -a

.. the 6th field ..

# uname -i

Hi Kurt,

Correct is in the uname -a output

# uname -a
or
# uname -a | awk '{print $6}'
