We have two rx2620's and four rx4640's. The rx2620's were Ignited from one system. All of the rx4640's were ignited from one rx4640's. When I run print_manifest on any of these servers, they give the serial number of the Ignite source. I see this as a problem. I can use stm to get the proper machine Serial Numbers. Can anyone tell me where print_manifest is getting it's serial numbers? Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem and get print_manifest to produce the correct Serial Number? Are there other bits of info that might be incorrect in the output of print_manifest.
Thanks,
Darrell Tscahkert

Re: Print_manifest gives wrong Serial Number
Great. Thanks. This helps a lot.
Now my next question. I could simply edit this file by hand. However, I wander if Ignite has a script to update the file instead. This would save me time and, perhaps, any other similar files that need updating.

Re: Print_manifest gives wrong Serial Number
I have seen this when a box has been ignite from another server. I would use the "getconf MACHINE_SERIAL" command.

Re: Print_manifest gives wrong Serial Number
I have no problem getting the correct machine serial number. We just want print_manifest to produce the correct serial number. We sometime send print_manifest output to HP in order to report the details of our servers for our Maintenance Contracts. I have a script that uses cstm to produce the correct serial number. Your "getconf MACHINE_SERIAL" is much faster, so I will change my script to use getconf ... . Thanks for the hint.
Thanks,

Re: Print_manifest gives wrong Serial Number
After that, update
/var/opt/ignite/local/manifest/manifest.seed
with the correct serial number - then print_manifest will work.

Re: Print_manifest gives wrong Serial Number
I will have to update manifest.seed by hand since there does not appear to be a script to handle this job.
Using "getconf MACHINE_SERIAL" is much faster than the cstm method that I have been using to get the machine serial number.
getsn does not work on our 11.23 system. It gives the following on our rx2620's and rx4640's:
PDC Call to PDC_MODEL/PDC_MODEL_GET_PLAT_INFO failed with status 0.
This system or PDC version may not support this PDC call.Serial Number: Not Available
Thank you all.
