Serial Number

2007-12-25 11:38:00

There are too many of you who sent replies to my question, so I won't list

everyone, but I thank you all for responding. Many of you suggested that we

can use utilities such as 'sysinfo','sysdef', 'or 'prtconf', but these

utilities information that I need. The serial number provided by these

utilities is the 'system board serial number,' which is not what I wanted,

as clearly stated in my original post.

 squaint (username) suggested issue "banner" command at PROM, but I'm not

able to do this yet, so I don't know if this works or not.

Tim Evans suggested

        $ eeprom |grep -i serial

system-board-serial#=XXXXXXXXX

This doesn't work on my systems, which are running either Solaris 2.5.1 or

2.6.

Most of the people points out that there is no way to tell within the system

itself, i.e. the only way is to go to each machine and eyeballing the

number.

Again, thanks to those that responded.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

> or system board serial #) of a Sun system under Solaris?
