Changing Proliant Serial Numbers
I work in a larger data center with many Proliant servers of all different models, generations, and OS's. In running reports, I have found that many machines have had system boards replaced over the years and the tech's have neglected to change the S/N to reflect that of the original board. I am looking to find a way to minimize down time while correcting these inconsistencies.
Does anyone know of a way to change the serial number on the system board (usually set in the RBSU) while the machine is online?
Could there be a way to script the update and minimize downtime during a reboot?
With the PSP updates you can process the update online and the changes take effect during a reboot. Is there a solution like this for updating a serial number?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Changing Proliant Serial Numbers
I am afraid it can't be done online (or at least it is not public).
Maybe there is some parameter in hpasmcli command... http://h50146.www5.hp.com/products/software/oe/linux/mainstream/support/doc/general/mgmt/ima/v810/hpasmcli.txt
let's play with it.

Re: Changing Proliant Serial Numbers
Thank you. I will get into this and report back my findings.
Jimmy-
I apreciate your response. I opened up a case with Support One, but they said there is no way to do what I am asking, and the only way to change the serial number is by entering the bios during a reboot.
I have not lost hope yet though! I have a lot of machines to correct and this could cost a lot of time, effort, and documentation...
I will follow up soon!

Re: Changing Proliant Serial Numbers
Unfortunately this is also a problem for me but on Proliant 3xx and 5xx. Setsys is only for 1xx so it doesn't help me.
Most of the servers I have are business-critical so if there's an alternative, online method (other than RBSU) that would be great.
I reached out to support but nobody seems to have a clue, I even had to tell them about setsys :(

I sent you a private message with a possible solution
