If you can get to the system console you can drop it down into the >OK prompt( by pressing the STOP-A key sequence)
then once at the prompt type "banner" to show the system banner and the serial # is posted there for you. but if you can not get to the console, they I am not aware of a shell commend that will allow you to display the serial #.
I tried the prtdiag -v and it just shows the hardware that is installed on the system.. Processors, Memory, Power supplies, etc..
I use a SunFire 280R, V880, and ultra5, and they all display the serial # in the OBP at startup.
In responce to davidg's responce. EEPROM can only set variables and diagnostice switches from a running shell, it can not run OBP command such as "banner", or "boot cdrom -s".

sufficient to disprove that IPMI exists on your system. Your system may not publish such information or may expect clients to communicate
at default locations.
