There is no command to get the serial number of a SUN server (E3500 or any other) at either the boot prompt or after booting.
The banner command at the ok prompt give you the MAC address - once booted, you can see the MAC as root by running the ifconfig -a. Or you might be looking for hostid (which is the command also). |

on aix its uname.
Code:
HOSTNAME:/root# uname -x AIX HOSTNAME 43414860 3 4 000296754C00 In this case i know the serial is 29675. please note the serial number does not include the 4c00. Code:
# uname -X System = SunOS Node = HOSTNAME Release = 5.8 KernelID = Generic_108528-18 Machine = sun4u BusType = <unknown> Serial = <unknown> Users = <unknown> OEM# = 0 Origin# = 1 NumCPU = 4 Code:
SI_HW_SERIAL
Copy into the array pointed to by buf a string which
is the ASCII representation of the hardware-specific
serial number of the physical machine on which the
function is executed. Note that this may be imple-
mented in Read-Only Memory, using software constants
set when building the operating system, or by other
means, and may contain non-numeric characters. It is
anticipated that manufacturers will not issue the same
"serial number" to more than one physical machine. The
pair of strings returned by SI_HW_PROVIDER and
SI_HW_SERIAL is likely to be unique across all
vendor's SVR4 implementations.

"uname -X" and sysinfo() were added to Solaris to make it compatible with System V Release 4. That stuff is only on SVR4 systems. And it can't really obtain a serial number on Solaris.
Sun does have a command called "hostid". The string that it outputs is often used for software licenses. |
