id number
I was wondering if anyone knows that all of HP machines ID numbers always start with a zero?I have a customer and he says their legacy software does not like the machines that have an ID number that starts with a zero.I have tried an RX460 and an RX2600 and they start with an zero.I find the ID number by typing in machinfo
please let me know if there is a machine out there that does not start with a zero .
Thank you
Jon

Re: id number
No, you can also use the uname -i command to find the id number.
RX2600 11iv2
# machinfo | grep idnumber
idnumber = 1928826293
# uname -i
1928826293
BL860c 11iv3
# uname -i
3426292962
RP2470 11iv1
# uname -i
1839940656
Regards,
Robert-Jan

Re: id number
$ uname -i
1928826293
Are these machines previously owned or perhaps repaired recently? A repaired CPU will require an authorized HP repair person to re-install the ID number. It sounds like the ID number has been corrupted and will HP to reinstall the ID number correctly.

Re: id number
is stored as a 32-bit binary number ...
there's no way to "store" a leading 0,
since there's no textual representation.
Once the OS boots up, however, it's a different story. IIRC, HP-UX (PA and IPF) internally
stores the sw_id as a null-terminated
character string ... perhaps some software
is changing it behind your back?
Also, please tell us *which* serial number
that machinfo is reporting that you're
asking about? On rx2600, machinfo has
two different lines with the text "serial number":
processor serial number = 0x0000000000000000
machine serial number = US42879nnn
and several other "serial number"-like numbers :)
thanks!

Re: id number
what /usr/contrib/bin/machinfo
/usr/contrib/bin/machinfo:
machinfo.c $Date: 2007/05/29 16:00:00 $Revision: r11.23/6 PATCH_11.23 (PHCO_36670)
$Revision: @(#) machinfo R11.23_BL2007_0607_2 PATCH_11.23 PHCO_36670
and reports information in somewhat different format.
I tried the last 3 versions I could find,
and they all report the same information
in a format different from yours (similar, but different).
Perhaps that's a clue to something?
I noted that the decimal number your "uname" reports is the same value as the first hex number of "machine ID number", so that's good.
A note on machinfo: what the @#$%^ is going on with that utility?
I found four versions on our IPF systems:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 43812 Oct 16 10:52 machinfo.20050901.PHCO_34710
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 43868 Oct 16 10:52 machinfo.20060405.PHCO_36670
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 74444 Oct 16 10:54 machinfo.20070419
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 43996 Oct 16 10:48 machinfo.20070529
The biggest one, which "what" reports as 2006-04-05, has the *LEAST* output, and is similar to Jon's output. But, that's not the most recent nor the oldest. It almost looks like someone made a bunch of changes, throwing away useful stuff in the process, released it, and then got slapped on the wrist and the prior version was restored?
