get serial number of Machine

[jaki]

Hi all,

is there any possibility to get the Serial-Number of a RS6000 System running AIX 4.3.3 using a command ?

It's possible to get the S/N of a Harddisk for example by "lscfg -vl hdisk0", but is there any possibility to get the S/N of my whole system without going to the machine and read it ?

thanks in advance

Mark

This will also work:

ser_num=`lsattr -El sys0 -a systemid | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F, '{print $2}'`
prefix=`echo ${ser_num} | cut -c3-4`
suffix=`echo ${ser_num} | cut -c5-9`
echo ${prefix}-${suffix}

Regards,
Chuck
