How to get Serial Number from Linux prompt
I'd like to get the Serial Number of a Proliant DL360G running Linux. I've run through all the different threads but no luck.
Any ideas?
In the Smart Start Scripting Toolkit it mentions a utility called "hwdiscovery" (see p.2-34 of user manual)
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/management/toolkit/ug-linux-win32.pdf
But when I download the toolkit I can only find a utility call "hwdisc3". It generates a good xml file but the SN is missing!

Thanks
Samantha

Re: How to get Serial Number from Linux prompt
If you use SuSE, run hwinfo. This generates a lot of info, under which also the serial number of your Compaq. I think hwinfo is only available with SuSE.

Only way I've ever been able to do this is by sneaker net :)

Re: How to get Serial Number from Linux prompt
The SN I'm interested in relates to the otherboard (and onboard NIC) rather than the Pentium SN. I still can't believe other people haven't needed to do this. And the Toolkit User Manuals even shows an example...
