S/N's on the N-Class server are located on the right side as you face the SPU and can be seen after removing the bottom side panel. But I've got HA production SPU's right up against it. Is it save to roll them out / back while up?
Also, where are the S/N's on L2000s?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
you can lookup the serial numbers of A- N and L-Class Servers online by running the information tool with the Support Tools Manager (stm) on the first device named "system".
This command line (one line !, root) gives back the model number:
echo "\nsel d 1\ninfo\nwait\nil\n\nexit\n\n" | cstm | grep "System Serial"
It should also work on Matterhorn, Keystone and Superdome Servers.
Best regards

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
Consequently, I am still seeking a way to find the S/N of a L class.
Thanks.

SolutionThe serial number on the L-Class is most typically located under the front cover on the upper left corner. Please see the following link to a system inventory script provided as a contributed utility from HP ESSO. "Sysinfo" is a wonderful utility that will provide te serial number on your L-Class as well as your N-Class. Download the "attached" script from Bill McNamara.

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
I'm afraid that you are not right. L-Class server do support the functionality on read the serial number of the FRU-ID EEPROM on the system card. If your L-Class doesn't show anything is your SN not set.
If you don't want to use STM, but the diagnostics is installed, you can use the attached program

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
If you rely solely on what the system reports for a S/N, then you are probably safe 99% of the time. If the system board is ever replaced that "supposed" system number is going to change.

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
If there's a way of loading the S/N via the GSP and you know how to load it then that would be nice to know.
I've never seen the S/N change during a motherboard swap out. There might be some confusion about the machine identification number which does change when the motherboard has been swapped out. This can be viewed via uname -i. S/N's usually begin with USM or US.
And again, L Class servers notoriously don't get stamped with their S/N's, nor display there S/N's via STM nor print_manifest nor via pdcinfo and sysinfo I'll have to look into.
Thanks Again All!

Re: Retrieval of N / L Class Serial Numbers
The serial number of the L-Class is stored in an EEPROM on the systemcard. If the systemcard has been changed, the CE has to set the serial number new. In case the serial number is not set you find an entry like this in the GSP error logs:
SOURCE: 3 = PDH
SOURCE DETAIL: 0 = unknown, no source stated SOURCE ID: 0
PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 = no problem detail
CALLER ACTIVITY: 2 = config STATUS: 0
CALLER SUBACTIVITY: 7B = implementation dependent
REPORTING ENTITY TYPE: 0 = system firmware REPORTING ENTITY ID: 01
0x48001860300027B0 20424144 53534E23 type 9 = ASCII Message SSN# BAD
0x58001860300027B0 0000630A 1E090D0E type 11 = Timestamp 11/30/1999 09:13:14
It wasn't a good idea to attach an executable to my last answer. If you are interested in the program let me know, I can sent it to you via e-mail
