Does anyone know of a way to get the serial number of an RS6000 from the command line in AIX 4.3.3?

Thanks in advance.
 
check this out!

uname -a

<OS_name> <host_name> <r> <v> <xxyyyyyymmss>

sample:

AIX WebServer 3 4 0008A8AF4C00

xx = indicate the system & always 00
yyyyyy = unique ID for the entire system
mm = model ID
ss = submodel ID & always 0

usually &quot;yyyyyy&quot; is part of the serial number.

man pages for 4.3.3 gives you the details
 
Not sure if this will work across the board on all RSK6000 models. You can strip the output of lscfg and get the serial number. I set up this script:

/usr/local/bin/model

lscfg -v | grep Y0 | head -1 | awk '{ print &quot;Serial Number: &quot;$3&quot;\tModel: &quot;$4 }'
