How to obtain the serial number of a single node

[k11rh]

I can get the serial number from our SP Fame.
How does one obtain the serial number of an individual node?

 

[k11rh]

Looks like I can use the uname -a command?
Can anyone confirm?

uname -a command output. Examples in brackets.

OSName -- first field or uname -s ['AIX']
NodeName -- second field or uname -n ['astra01']
OSRelease -- third field or uname -r ['3' or '1' etc.]
OSVersion -- fourth field or uname -v ['4' or '5' etc.]
MachineClass -- fifth field or uname -m ['000737204C00']
ModelName -- uname -M ['IBM Model 7042/7043 (ED)']


uname -m command output.

aabbbbbbccdd

The meanings of the placeholders are as follows:
aa = 00
bbbbbb = Unique CPU ID
cc = Model ID <- these are the numbers to use to determine CPU speed
dd = 00 (Submodel)

If u want to see FRU number then use &quot;lscfg -vp | more&quot;

IBM Support goes off the serial number for the frame for servicing, not the individual node.

Use uname -a .Leave the first three letters/digits usually 000 and leave the last 3 digits/letters. The Leters/Digits in the middle is the serial number.

lsattr -El sys0 -a systemid
