writesernum

Use the writesernum command to write the node serial number into the planar NVRAM.

Syntax

writesernum -sernumserial_number { node_id | node_name }

Parameters

-sernumserial_number
(Required) Specifies the serial number to write to the nonvolatile memory of the system planar.
node_id | node_name
(Required) Specifies the node where the system planar is located. The serial number is written to this system planar. This name is not the worldwide node name (WWNN).

Description

This command writes the node serial number into the planar NVRAM and then reboots the system. You can find the serial number at the front of the node without having to remove it from the rack. The seven-digit alphanumeric serial number is located on a label on the front of the node. The serial number on the label might contain a hyphen. Omit this hyphen when typing the serial number with the writesernum command.
Note: Once you have written the serial number to the planar NVRAM, you can issue the lsnodevpd command to verify that the number is correct. The system_serial_number field contains the serial number.
