For HP-UX 11i

# getconf MACHINE_SERIAL

you will get serial no of the m/c

Note: this does not always work. Some older servers (older than L-class) simply don't have an electronically-readable serial number.

With these older servers, you must go to the server room with a pen and a notebook and find the serial number the old fashioned way.

Hello Vin,

2 ways to get it
1)
echo "sel path system ; info; wait infolog" |cstm|grep -i "system serial number"

2) if you have installed ISEE
grep -i SerialNumber /opt/hpservices/etc/motprefs

Also try

/usr/bin/getsn (part of sysinfo - attached - sysinfo.4.16.depot.gz)

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

Hi Vinu,

use this command,

getconf CS_MACHINE_SERIAL
or
getconf MACHINE_SERIAL
or
simply run following command:

cat /var/opt/ignite/local/manifest/manifest.info | more

on this location u'll find serial number.ok.
bye
