There isn't one, AFAIK. Most of the Sun servers don't have a machine
readable serial # (aka the system serial # that's printed on the box).

Many admins fix this problem by updating the eeprom oem-banner parameter
with this value prior to putting the system in service. Sounds like you
didn't. So you'll have to go to the remote site and read the value with
a flashlight.

No. Someone has to look at the tag on the rear of the machine!

Hi..............please find the sneep to solve ur serial number issues
-

Sneep provides a persistent, software-accessible Chassis Serial Number
(CSN) for virtually all Sun Solaris hardware platforms. Sneep uses the
system EEPROM for storage of the Chassis Serial Number and any other
important user-defined data such as asset, contract, or location
information. The presence of the software-accessible serial number and
other service-related information can significantly simplify activities
related to system service and asset management.

This is a full installation of Sneep 2.5_R1.76 with all supporting
documentation.

Changes include:

Release 2.5 rev 1.76

20050816 Fixed:

Bug 00016 'tr' causes message "Bad String" in UTF-8 locales

Revised Documentation

Updated with Access information for Sun Download Center

Updated with new internal download URL

Note: Both Compress (.Z) and ZIP (.zip) formats are available for
download. Only one of these is necessary, as both formats contain the
same tar file of the SUNWsneep package.

After uncompressing, unpack the tarfile using a command like :

tar xpf SUNWsneep_2.5_Rx.y.tar


English Solaris (SPARC and Intel)
English Solaris (SPARC and x86)

sneep is only a partial solution. You still need to tell Sneep what the
serial number of the system is in the first place.

Once you've told it the serial number it will remember it for the future,
but it is no way of getting it in the first place.

Thanx all
