Obtaining serial numbers for installed modules on Procurve 4000/8000M
our company has just produced a new inventory database. It requires information on all LAN kit, right down to the installed modules.
I have a list of the 60 or so switches (all HP Procurve 4000M and 8000M) on our site. I have the serial numbers for the switch chassis but NOT the individual modules installed.
Can anyone tell me a way of obtaining the serial numbers for the cards installed, other than physically removing them and checking the serial number on the inside?
With around 500 or so cards installed, removing and checking them individually is something I do NOT want to have to do!
Unfortunately this information is mandatory for equipment going into our new database so if anyone can tell me a way of obtaining this info from the switch I would be grateful!
Thanks,
Neil

Re: Obtaining serial numbers for installed modules on Procurve 4000/8000M
you can get them through the management port looking at the nodules installed. or with procurve manageer software will display the modules part number and serial number.
Even toptools may find the serial number but not 100%, even though you can configure the network through it.
Procurve manager will be the best if you have it, or download it from hp's site

Re: Obtaining serial numbers for installed modules on Procurve 4000/8000M
This the only information I seem to be able to get for the modules:
Slot Module Type Module Description
---- --------------- ---------------------------------------------
A 10/100TX HP J4111A 8-port 10/100Base-TX module
B 10/100TX HP J4111A 8-port 10/100Base-TX module
C 10/100TX HP J4111A 8-port 10/100Base-TX module
D 10/100TX HP J4111A 8-port 10/100Base-TX module
E 10/100TX HP J4111A 8-port 10/100Base-TX module
F 1000SX HP J4113A 1-port Gigabit SX module
G 1000SX HP J4113A 1-port Gigabit SX module
H 1000SX HP J4113A 1-port Gigabit SX module
I 1000SX HP J4113A 1-port Gigabit SX module
J 1000SX HP J4113A 1-port Gigabit SX module
As you can see, it gives me the part numbers but not the serial numbers.
(I have Procurve Manager installed but cannot see anywhere that gives me the individual module serial numbers on it either)
Perhaps this information is just not available for the 4000M/8000M switches?

In the meantime. you might try running a show tech to see if that turns up something.
copy com "show tech" tftp 10.11.12.13 file.ext
replace 10.11.12.13 with the IP of your PCM.

Re: Obtaining serial numbers for installed modules on Procurve 4000/8000M
no joy I'm afraid. I was only able to get the chassis serial number from a MIB walk on the 4000M/8000M, not the serial numbers of the individual modules.
However, looks like I've come up with a workaround that will prevent me having to physically remove all the cards. I'm just going to use "dummy" serial numbers for the purposes of the database - this will still allow traceability, which was the original intention.
Not ideal maybe but it will have to do!
