Shalom,

Thats is hardware specific and will vary from vendor to server vendor.

You will probably need a utility from the blade server seller.

This contrasts to HP-UX which has such commands because there is only ONE hardware vendor and its the OS vendor. Different situation in Linuxland.

Yes,

I'm looking for the good software, for Blade/Proliant Hp servers.

Have you an idea about the good product ?

Hi,

You may try to script a command thru ssh to the ilo of the server.

ssh "show system1" | grep number

or

ssh "show system1" | grep number | cut -c 12-

These commands will just ask you for ILO password.

On recent RHEL releases you can run the dmidecode command from the shell prompt to get the serial number.
Example:

# dmidecode
