as far as i know is there no command so see the system-serial number. you can find many serial numbers of your hardware but not for the whole mashine. you can find the system-serial number on the back, right of the onboard SCSI connector.

Correct, the closest thing to a serial number you can get is the serial number of the id PROM.

Sun Serial Number

All wrong big boys.

What your looking for a a command called "serialid" if you dont have it then get it or let your fingers do the walking (Yellow pages for a taxi)


You should have this file try one of your Sunfire servers

Usually kept in /opt/FJSVmadm/sbin if not I can email you a compiled copy

WRONG! that does not give the serial number of the chasis. The only place to get that is on the chasis.

A path like /opt/FJSV is a clue that you're dealing with a Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER. I was not aware of the serialid command. I just tried it on one of our Fujitsu's and it did indeed return the serial number on the label on the front panel of the box. That is very cool and I'm glad to learn about that command.

However this thread is about obtaining the serial number of a Sun Fire 280R by using a similiar command. (The OP made that clear in the title of the thread and by mentioning the model number explicitly in the first post.) Doing that is not possible.

Guys, was there misleading with "serial number on solaris"?
Anyway, for the OS version, uname and showrev. For "system-wide" identification, hostid, see quote from Solaris hostid manpage:
>hostid- print the numeric identifier of the current host
