Re: System Serial no
Are you sure that this is not the same system with two different IP adresses?

Re: System Serial no
I would agree, this looks like 2 screen shots from the same machine with different IP addresses as the Create Date and Time is also identical.

Re: System Serial no
Those two are different systems . They are not similar.
I am logging into those machines with same user name with different passwords.
I am sure both are different.

Re: System Serial no
Please connect to the console and run the command again to ensure you run it on different systems.
The rp4440 is not partitioned.
You cannot change the SN (even it is unlikely the problem), only HP can.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: System Serial no
vPars does not work here, HPVM does not work here.
Very unlikey.
I would connect to the MP, check the SN and compare to the label - just to be sure.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
