Fetching serial number programmatically

[Ayman Altounji]

Is there a way to fetch the BIOS serial number programmatically? I am writing an inventory program that want to run on all Proliants in the company and forward to our inventory system.

Please help. If not a programmatic way, is there a utility that will output the serial number to the screen that I can pipe and send on to our inventory system?

Try also Systems Home Management page if you have it installed. It's under the system's configuration tab or section of the gui screen- System Summary. Under asset information.
