p-class enclosure UUIDs

james capobianco_1 — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:45:20 GMT

We're trying to collect the UUIDs of each of the 20 or so p-class chassis we have in our environment, however I am not sure how to collect this info. I am able to collect the UUID of the blades via iLO in each chassis, but not the chassis itself. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Jim

Hello Jim,

R U looking for UUID on a sticker on the Chassis ? I dont think so. UUID are used by Software for Server identification.

Refer:

I just checked three spare chassis we have here, and I did not see a UUID sticker. Only stickers I saw had the PID & serial number...

Yup !
PID, Serial #, OA ADMIN & Password ..etc etc are on stickers. UUID are available only on iLO.

So the chassis themselves do NOT have an UUID, only the servers?

No Jim, UUID is not used to identify CHASSIS;

Well that's funny, because the OTHER (coughibmcough) blade chassis we have are identified by UUIDs. I take Wikipedia pages with a grain of salt..
