I believe it is possible with STM. Not sure though.

Have a look at this thread. This worked for me on A, L, N and rp series machines. Anything older does not have the serial number available.

you can try print_manifest

Hi,
If you have A,L or N class i am sure it is XSTM or stm.Just see the information you will get the CPU ID/s and serial Number/s.

hello there,

I know exactly the place you can find that info.First forget stm,cstm or even xstm. because if you can't find in stm...You can simply forget about seeing in cstm or Xstm so on and so forth ..because those are just different way of accessing the same utility.



The solution is GSP/MP prompt.You have different ways to go to this prompt based on the way GSP/MP is configured.The most easy way is If your server has Local console(mind you , not the graphical X server consoles)..hit ctrl+B to go to this prompt..You will be aske a username and password...assuming that u are the sysadmin i hope you have the username and the required password for gsp,though you can try username:Admin and password:Admin.Once you have logged in issue the CM command then issue df command. Voila!.... you are watching the FRU numbers and possibly serial numbers of all the hardware and adapters etc.. of your server.....

best of luck

do "uname -a", the 5th column is model type and 6th column is serial no.

As I understand you right you want to know the serial number of the cpu (NOT the system serial number)

you can get it with

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

If it's the system you want, then you can use something like sysinfo - which uses an executable called getsn....

Here's part of the output od sysinfo:

Roland's answer is correct (as well as the others that refer to cstm and relatives, stm, mstm, xstm). HOWEVER, the online diagnostics must be loaded on your system. This is the default (stm and ESM) but many systems do not have them. Check with:

swlist -l bundle|grep -i diag

cstm (and relatives) are located in /usr/sbin.

HOWEVER: the serial number is stored only on new HP 9000 models. The rp models, the L-class and SuperDome, some N- and A-class have the serial number. But the K-class and any box built before about 2001 will not have the serial number stored and can only be obtained with a flashlight.

[RolandH]

Additionally for Itanium systems, wether or not it is a workstation or server you can use the 'machinfo' command to get system serial number.

hi hongjing zhang.

Try #uname -a
or go to the following files to get the Serial no:

If you are stil using the factory loaded OS that came with the systems when you purchased them, then you can use /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest to get the serial
Number. Or /var/opt/ignite/local/manifest
hope the above will suffice your requirement.
