hi
i think that's software id,mean os's id,
not host id.??

yes?

[Suraj Singh_1]

uname -i would give the machine's identification number or nodename (if machine id. no. can't be determined)

man uname

The output will be the same wheather you use getconf or uname.

Try-

ifconfig lan0

This will return the IP number of the current host.

Hi,
All the previous post have answered your question, now if you are after the boxes serial number then depending of the age of the box you will hve to look yourself on the chassis or the info will be in the output of print_manifest, do a man print_manifest


All the best

In one of the earlier messages, the man page for uname was quoted and suggested that the hostname would be returned if the system ID could not be determined.

In what cases would the system ID not be able to be determined?

In this case, is there a way to set it?
