How to automatically collect HP server service tag from datacenter?

  • 772

I wonder if there is any automated tool to get HP serial number from my datacenter, because I'd like to do server refresh and there are more than hundreds of it that I need to identify its base warranty up to date ?

ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  1. You don't mention OS, however:

    Linux: You should be able to get at least the Product Name and Serial from the output of dmidecode

    Windows: Run the following on the command line: wmic csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber. You can also run wmic /node:computername .... to get the information remotely.

  2. HP has a product that can help gather all this information for you. It's called Asset Manager.

  3. If you know the host names or IP addresses, you can use SNMP to fetch this info.

    Having just tried this on a few of my servers, they all respond with their correct serial number with the command snmpget SERVERNAME 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.2.2.2.1.0.

    There is a tool for this exact question you have asked. It's called HP Systems Insight Manager, coupled with SNMP/WMI protocols and a small server-side client it will make your automation processes very smooth. There are a lot of possibilities with the tool, as i've used this extensively within an enterprise. I suggest you check it out.
