Please see the below examples taken from an Oracle/Sun Explorer utility.In these examples, if we already know the serial number, these examples show what commands could be used to retrieve the serial number. In these examples a portion of the serial has been masked. Ex: M9000/M8000
# cd /opt/SUNWexplo/output/explorer* # grep AKD11XXXXX * chassis_serial.out:AKD11XXXXX eeprom.out:." ChassisSerialNumber AKD11XXXXX " cr env.out:EXP_SERIAL_847c7878=AKD11XXXXX prtconf-vp.out: chassis-sn: 'AKD11XXXXX' prtpicl-v.out: :chassis-sn AKD11XXXXX
