Providing cloud customers with the machine serial number

Cloud customers need the serial number of the machine that will host their workload to request host key documents from Resource Link.

• On the HMC Systems Details Dialog, go to the Product Information tab.
  Find the Machine Serial in the table. The Machine Serial consists of the Country of Origin Code and the serial number. The five right-most digits constitute the serial number needed for Resource Link.
• Alternatively, read the five right-most digits of the Sequence Code field from /proc/sysinfo, for example:

  # cat /proc/sysinfo 
  Manufacturer:         IBM             
  Type:                 3931
  LIC Identifier:       401e26ff62dc9b82
  Model:                701              A01             
  Sequence Code:        0000000000012345
  ...

  Here 12345 is the serial number.
