How to detect CPU serial Number?

[yang shaohua]

I want to detect CPU serial number, so I used the "machinfo" in IA64 platform, the output includes:

bash-3.2$ machinfo
CPU info:
   Number of CPUs = 2
   Clock speed = 1600 MHz
   Bus speed   = 400 MT/s
   CPUID registers
      vendor information =       "GenuineIntel"
      processor serial number =  0x0000000000000000
      processor version info =   0x000000001f020204
         architecture revision:       0
         processor family:           31   Intel(R) Itanium 2 Family Processors
         processor model:             2   Intel(R) Itanium 2 processor
         processor revision:          2   Stepping A2
         largest CPUID reg:           4
      processor capabilities =   0x0000000000000001

the serial number is 0

And I used the command "cstm", "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;il", the output includes:

PIM Revision                 = 0x0000000000000000
CPU ID                       = 0x0000000000000000
CPU Revision                 = 0x0000000000000000
Cpu Serial Number            = 0x0000000000000000
Check Summary                = 0x0000000000000000

my question is why CPU serial number is always zero? I think it should be q unique number.

somebody can help? thanks

Try the display fru (df) command from MP:CM>

[yang shaohua]

could you please indicate more clearly, I am confused how to use the command, thanks

[Torsten.]

What server model do you have?

"machinfo" or "model" will tell.

Connect to the MP, change to CM menu and run "df".

MP> cm

MP:CM> df

...

[yang shaohua]

thanks for your quickly response.

I am sorry ,  I think I haven't clarified my problem clearly.

In face, what I want is running an application on HPUnix, the application can detect CPU serial number via HPUnix API or command.

my application is not possible to run on MP console, So, maybe we need to think other way.

anyway, thanks for your help.

You obviously running 11.23, so do

cstm>sel dev all;info;wait;il

OK?

The normal output from machinfo looks like this:

# machinfo
CPU info:
   Intel(R) Itanium 2 9100 series processor (1.67 GHz, 18 MB)
   2 cores, 4 logical processors per socket

 It would appear that this machine was repaired and the system board was replaced. HP sends out replacement boards without serial numbers and only HP service can set the serial numbers. This is a reasonable requirement as a lot of priced software requires a unique serial number fror licensing. Call HP to have them fix your system.

Don't mix up.


This is the output of an old rx2600:

# /usr/contrib/bin/machinfo
CPU info:
   Number of CPUs = 1
   Clock speed = 900 MHz
   Bus speed   = 400 MT/s
   CPUID registers
      vendor information =       "GenuineIntel"

      processor version info =   0x000000001f000704

         processor family:           31   Intel(R) Itanium 2 Family Processors
         processor model:             0   Intel(R) Itanium 2 processor

         largest CPUID reg:           4
      processor capabilities =   0x0000000000000001

The processor serial number is all "0" - always.

The machine serial number is something different.


It is stored in 2 locations, so if you replace the system board with a "fresh" one, it will be cloned to the new board. Such board must be "factory new" with special values set, a "used" board will not work that way.

You can check this from EFI:

Shell> sysmode service
Current System Mode: ADMIN

You are now in SERVICE mode.

Shell> sysset
System Information:
  Manufacturer: hp
  Product Name: server rx2660
  Product Number: AD245A
  Secondary Product Number is Identical
  Serial number: DEH1234567
  Secondary Serial Number is Identical

...

For BL8x0i2 and rx2800i2 servers the "sysset" command has been moved to the MP:

CM:hpiLO-> sysset

SYSSET

Current System Information Parameters:

   Manufacturer             : HP

   Product Name (prodname)  : Integrity rx2800 i2

   Secondary Product Name   : Integrity rx2800 i2

   Product Number (prodnum) : AH395A

   Secondary Product Number : AH395A

   Serial number (serial)   : CZ31234567

   Secondary Serial Number  : CZ31234567

On a system running 11.31 try this to get the processor serial numbers:

# /opt/propplus/bin/cprop -detail -c "Processors"

By the way Bill, your system is running old firmware ... ;-)

[yang shaohua]

Torsten and Bill, thank you all, I am so appricaited for your help.

during my testing , I found the following problem:

1) I cannot find the

# /opt/propplus/bin/cprop -detail -c "Processors"

there are no "propplus" under my 11.31 machine, so, it is installed package?

2) does it mean "machinfo" command is impossible to get the CPU serial number? because it always return 0x0000

3)I run "cstm>sel dev all;wait;il" on HPUX11.23 hppa

   the partial output is as below:

=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=

obviously, the machine have two active CPUs, Why there is just one Process information ?

"ID: 0x24        FRU Name: Processor 0 RAM"

4) I run "cstm>sel dev all;wait;il" on HPUX11.23, HPUX11.31, ITA64

    I found there are no CPU information in the output, Why?

please indicate me, thanks!

>2) does it mean machinfo command is impossible to get the CPU serial number?

I don't even see that in my 11.31 PHCO_40404 version.
