Hi y'all!

Can anyone tell me if there's an utility to read the serial number of
the processor of an AIX machine and pass it through to a 4GL program?
The OS-version is 4.3.

I've been looking and searching on the web, but came up with nothing
at all.

Now, I'm putting all my hope on you!

Kind regards,

uname -a
will return the serial number of the machine.

On our 4.3 systems, the following works:
lsattr -El sys0 |grep systemid |cut -d " " -f 6 | cut -c 5-

This will give you (sent to standard output) the 3-digit country code
as well as the 6-digit serial number.

Enjoy!

lsattr -El sys0 -a systemid

Or uname -a|awk {'print $5'}

lscfg -vp|grep -p "System VPD:"|grep -i Serial

Some commands will not work on all servers.
