Re: Hardware UUID on Midrange boxes?

I don't know how exposed the APIs are (if they are), but you can get a
hardware listing from the Service Tools where you get the backplane, it's
CCIN, part/number and Serial Number, would that work? And why would you
want to do that when the part that's supposed to be unique is the
QMODEL+QSRLNBR values? I mean, if you want to lock the app to a single
machine to avoid those same-serial-upgrades, you can just use both the
serial AND the model... but locking an app to the backplane S/N? that would
be weird. Oh and i haven't seen an actual UUID in the hardware listings so
i don't know if it exists...

Best Regards,

Roberto

Fellow geeks and geekettes:

While, on a box where the model and serial number are programmatically
readable, accessing a motherboard UUID (as on a WinDoze or Linux server)
seems kind of pointless,

Is there a hardware UUID on an IBM Midrange box, that corresponds to the
motherboard UUID on a WinDoze or Linux box? And if so, is it
programmatically readable?
