when you open a support call, you need to know at least the machine serial number, which is uname -u

IBM,0262F4A64

62F4A64 is the serial number in this case
IBM identifies your hardware with this number

but it's also good to know the model name 9117-MMA for example

some applications use the machine ID for licensing, but I've seen this only on older applications, at least I don't have such an application running

Blt_TreeNodeId(3)					      BLT Library Procedures						 Blt_TreeNodeId(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Blt_TreeNodeId - Returns the node serial number.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bltTree.h>

       unsigned int
       Blt_TreeNodeId(node)

ARGUMENTS

       Blt_TreeNode   node   (in)      Node whose ID is to be returned.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure	returns the node serial number.  The node serial number is useful for programs that export the tree data object to the Tcl
       programming level.  Since node labels (and therefore pathnames) are not unique, the ID can be used to uniquely identify a node.

       The arguments are as follows:

       node	 The node whose serial number is returned.  The serial number of the root node for example is always 0.

RETURNS

       The serial number of the node.  Nodes are given a unique serial number when they are created.  You can use the ID  to  later  retrieve  the
       node using Blt_TreeGetNode.

EXAMPLE

       The following example prints the ID of a node.

	      printf("root ID is %s
", Blt_TreeNodeId(node));
