Ever needed to obtain the serial number (or other details) for a remote server? Couldn’t be bothered to walk/run/drive/fly all the way there just to read a sticky label on the back or bottom of said server? Read on then.

The command you want to run, as root, is dmidecode. For example, to get the make and model and serial number of a server, do this:

The result will be similar to:

Other options for the -t parameter are:

• bios – tells you all about your bios.
• system – tells you about the system hardware.
• baseboard – all about the mother board.
• chassis – all you need to know about the “box” the system is made up of.
• processor – fairly obvious.
• memory – again, fairly obvious.
• cache – information about your CPU cache.
• connector – what sockets are present on the computer. USB, firewire, ethernet etc.
• slot – appears to be the bus information, and voltages present, supplied etc.

Find The Serial Number of IP Appliances Via CLI. Sometimes it is necessary to find the serial number of IP appliances but you either don’t have physical access to the machine or someone has removed the sticker from the side or bottom. In order to check the serial number of a server, just type a certain command in the command line. The command is generally available in every common Linux operating system distribution. If there is a condition where a direct contact to the server is impossible, just remote the server to check the serial number.

There’s brief help available:

However, to find out the different types you can supply, you need to supply an erroneous type:

I’ve just used the command to obtain information about a server located 150 odd miles away from my comfy chair, running in an unattended site. That saved me a bit of time!

Have fun.

How to identify a device > serial device

How to 'identify' the serial device (/dev/ttyS*) for a given interface of your computer (not the peripheral connected behind it).

The serial interfaces (RS-232) is a legacy interface. It has no enumeration process, you have to tell your application which /dev/ttyS* to use (some application do have some auto-detection features, but it's not always reliable).

The Serial port can either have a physical interface on your computer:

• DB9 serial interface.
• DB25 serial interface (on older computers).
• RJ-45 serial interface (mostly on switch and routers, but also on some computers like Sun ones).

Or it can be 'built-in' another device, like:

• Internal Modem (ISA, PCI...).
• PC Card (pcmcia, Cardbus...), including Modem, GSM or UMTS/3G cards.
• USB to serial adapters.
• Docking station (for laptop).

Often, the computer have an internal UART chipset, but not a physical interface : Recent laptops have the DB-9 connector on the docking station only ; Some desktop have 1 connector available, the 2nd requires an optional cable, etc. so what you see IS NOT what you have.

Using hal

Find Cpu Serial Number Linux

hal in installed by default in Desktop Environment (both Gnome and Kde), but not on servers.

Take special attention to 'info.product' and 'linux.device_file' lines :

Find in /sys/*

This command should work on all standard Debian installation (even minimalist ones).

some explanations on this example :

if you look at the lspci output above, pci device '00:1e.0' is a PCI bridge to the card bus controller ('15:00.0'), so ttyS1 is a PC Card device.

if you look at the lspci output above, pci device '00:1a.0' is a USB Controller, so ttyUSB1 is a USB device (USB-to-serial or modem).
