Sun Server Serial Number

70

Here is the way to find system's serial number. This is true for at least T2000, T1000, T5120 and should be true for other T-type sun servers (with ALOM user login).

Hello, prtdiag -v shows the Serial Number in the last line for newer hardware. I have two T52x0 systems that do. Older Systems don't. You'll get the S/N using the SUN explorer. Run it, go into the directory of the output and then the subdirectory sysconfig. There should be a file named platform_serial or chassis_serial.out which contains the S/N of the chassis for systems of type V2xx, V4xx and V8xx.

Prtdiag, prtconf or eeprom doesn`t display the serial if nobody put the entry to it. Hi, One worth trying is 'prtdiag -v'. The simplest general solution is to use sneep. It will find the serial on many machines (see ) and on other machines, it will allow you to save the serial (obtained the hard way) into the eeprom for future reference using sneep or 'eeprom'.

The 'serial' reported in the boot prom banner is the hostid in decimal, NOT the machine serial. You can get a recent version of sneep from - - The one referenced in the other posts with download ID 4304155a is very old, and has a bad interaction with Veritas VxVM. The service tag does include the serial number, but it generally uses sneep to obtain it. Sneep and Service Tag software are both included in the Service Tools Bundle.

Sneep ( Serial Number in EEPROM) is a cool utility for Solaris that can retreive the Chasis Serial Number (CSN) or the Product Serial Number (PSN). This comes real handy when taking inventory or when having to work with Sun Support. Sneep can also store useful information like system Assett Tag or Location into the EEPROM which can be retreived later on. Sneep searches for the serial number in several data sources, including the system eeprom, platform-specific hardware-based sources, the configuration files for the Sun “ explorer” and “ Configuration Service Tracker (CST)” tools, and its own backup file.

Also, the buttons have a rather unusual arrangement. Gamecube emulator pikmin However, this could also be a bit of a let-down for some gamers since it can come across as a bit fragile.
