Solaris: Asset Management: How do you uniquely identify LDoms & Zones, due to no serial number?
Post Date: Wednesday 18 May 2022Post Note: Bolding helps me see things better.
Question: How do you uniquely identify LDoms & Zones, due to no serial number? Serial numbers are not available for all the ways that one can run Solaris, with its wonderful virtualization spectrum: PDoms, LDoms and Zones/Containers.
For: This is for Asset Management at my company.
Solaris Versions: 10 and 11
Running This Works In Physical Hosts (returns the serial number):
ipmitool sunoem getval /SYS/product_serial_number
It brings back the serial number.
However, that command string does NOT work in Solaris virtual systems: LDoms/Logical Domains/Oracle VM Server for SPARC
