If you have Support Tools Manager installed(STM) then you can do a

#echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm |grep -i serial

On L or N or V class it works.

Else you need to take that down physically from the server

The solution with the cstm works only if you using the cold installtion from HP as the server was delivered. If you have new installed your server with new HP-UX the field is filled with N/A.
Sorry, but I knew no way to get the serial number from the server if you have installed your server new. But you can notice it from your server an write it in a file on it.

A better way to get the SN Number is
echo "sel dev 1 ;info;wait;infolog" | cstm |grep -i "System Serial Number"

Re: rp2470 serial number

Only "newer" systems know about their serial number... and it is possible to retrieve it via the diag2 kernel driver. Besides the diagnostics there is a tool "getsn" which gets the number, if:

1) the system supports it (rp2470 should do)
2) the diag2 driver is in the kernel
3) the user has r/w access to /dev/diag/diag2

Drop me an EMail and I can send the tool to you. (forname.surname@hp.com).

Best regards...
