We need it for our support-conract

Get a flashlight and look around, you'll find it.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
There is a machine ID available with the uname -i command but this is not a serial number. If your front door has gone walkies then it might be worth seeing if HP can ID from that machine ID.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
serial number usually will be on machine itself. you have to look physically.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
On K380 you have to get it from the backside of the front door.
On RP54x0, you can use cstm to get the serial number.
/usr/sbin/cstm -> map -> sel dev 1 -> info ->infolog

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
a way to see serial number as well (
print_manifest in ignite and isee gui).
K380 either is a sticker somewhere or HP techie
via Boot Menue :).

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
I recently had to audit all my remote CPUs Serial Numbers, and thanks to "print_manifest" it saved me many trips!

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
I find this topic rather annoying on HP-UX boxes, as the whole thing seems to be handled rather inconsistently by HP.
On some boxes, don't ask me on which models, the print_manifest command may show you the wanted info.
So on these I created this alias for root:
# alias serial
serial='/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest -s|awk '\''/erial number/{print $NF}'\'
But beware, as said print_manifest reveals the SE No. only on some HP models, only the gods know why.
On the other hand I had a look at the Korn shell script supplied by MANOJ how they accomplished the wizardry.
There they seem to invoke a program called
/bin/getsn
Ouch, sorry folks on my HP boxes I cannot find this binary.
As said the whole mistery HP performs about their serial numbers is such a nuisance in my view.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
I really should have read the subject line of this thread more carefully.
You were asking about the CPUs' serial numbers.
Stick with cstm in that case (as someone else already correctly posted).
Please ignore the rubbish I posted.
Albeit, the host's serial number mistery I'd still consider an annoyance.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
Yes, it is true I asked about the serial number from the CPUs.
With print_manifest there is no serial-number from the CPU (I know print_manifest). Also with the stm/xstm/cstm is only a serial-number available, if you have the correct version from this tool (probably a newer one), and a K3x0 is a 'old' machine, then also no number!
But I will try this script from Manoj. Anyway thanks for the help.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
There is no serial number specific to a CPU. In that case for my superdome, I would be having 64 serial numbers.
For your support-contract which I believe with HP, you would need the system's serial number. And I posted the ways to get it.
By the way print_manifest or sysinfo get the information from the seed files and the seed files are to be updated manually with the serial numbers which HP does with the factory installed OS. If you re-installed the UNIX, then you lose it.
For ex., print_manifest gets the information from /var/opt/ignite/config.local file which is to be updated manually.
Sysinfo reads serial number from a file called system_db from current directory or /usr/local/bin in that order. And you need to populate this file.

Re: Serial-Number from CPU
only "newer" system really know their serial number. This is true for N series, L series, A400/500, the Superdome, and newer workstations. There you get that information through a diag2 driver API from stable storage... newer versions of the diagnostics and the (unsupported) getsn tool (used by sysinfo) call that interface also.
So no chance for your K380. The rp54x0 supports it definitely, so you need newer diagnostics or the getsn tool there.
Best regards...
Dietmar.
