zx6000 has invalid UUID

[Malcolm Dunnett]

I replaced a system board in a zx6000 and I now get a warning 55: Invalid system ID. The primary UUID is "magic" (all Fs) and there's a valid secondary UUID, but I'm not getting the prompt to copy the one into the other. It appears I need to be in manufacturing mode to set the UUID manually and I don't have a password for that.

Is there a way to get the system to copy the valid UUID into the invalid one?

It is strange to me if no prompt appears during the boot. Have you ever replaced the system board and copied UUIDs successfully? I wonder if you have overlooked the message? If you are sure the system does not prompt for the UUID copy, I would suggest you will contact HP support center and request a CE onsite.

If you have missed the prompt then you will have to get a CE out to perform the work.

Hi Malcolm,

If am not wrong you can set the UUID from MP..

Try..

MP:CM>id

This should let u change the UUID.

No, MP ID command will not change UUID.
