• Check Serial Number Of Hp Laptop

You mean like this?: dyi # getconf MACHINE_SERIAL TW23900053 dyi # getconf CS_MACHINE_SERIAL TW23900053 dyi # machinfo grep serial Machine serial number: TW23900053 If I had an HP-UX question, then a VMS forum is unlikely to be the first place I'd ask it. An HP-UX Forum search for serial should find some things. That's where I found the things shown above. > In VMS - $show cpu/full Sometimes, perhaps. Around here: alp $ pipe show cpu /full search sys$input serial Primary CPU = 0 HWRPB CPUs = 4 Page Size = 8192 Revision Code = Serial Number = Serial Number..

Whats the best way to Check unit serial number / status., 04:07 PM Whats the best way to Check unit serial number / status for warranty time and make sure it was not reported stolen. Jump to Find machines with expiring or expired serial numbers. And run scripts to find the machines having expiring or expired serial numbers.

Best way is to look at the system itself as sometimes those command will bring up a wrong SN, especially if the system is cloned one. This cannot be, because the number is directly read from the system, this data isn't stored on a disk. OK, a 'repaired' system may have a wrong value, but I would not call this 'repaired' at all. And you would see other strange things in this case. Easy way # machinfo (if available) or # echo 'sel dev 1; info;wait;il' cstm and grep for the serial number. Remember, older systems do not store this at all. The print_manifest may display a wrong serial number if the system was cloned using something other than Ignite, because print_manifest just outputs the information gathered at the time the system installation was run.

Ignite cloning will re-write that information, but other cloning methods may not do that. The STM diagnostics, 'machinfo' (when available) and 'getconf MACHINE_SERIAL' methods on the other hand will read the hardware directly, so the cloning is unlikely to fool them. Unfortunately, some old PA-RISC servers do not have a software-readable serial number, so these commands will not return any information. On the other hand, if someone swapped the machine's system board and did not use the proper maintenance commands to update the serial number information in the system's NVRAM, the system board may have a different serial number than the one printed on the chassis. But at *that* point, it's uncertain which serial number is the 'real' one: the one printed on the chassis or the one reported by the system board?

I've understood that HP's original system boards sold as spare parts will now come without a serial number. The firmware will allow (and require) to set the serial number - but only one time.
