NAME

 setcsn - set the chassis serial number for a Sun Fire high-end system

SYNOPSIS

 setcsn -c chassis_serial_number
 setcsn -h

DESCRIPTION

 

setcsn(1M) enables you to record the chassis serial number that identifies a Sun Fire high-end system. The chassis serial number is printed on a label located on the front of the system chassis, near the bottom center.

If you are upgrading to SMS 1.4 from an earlier SMS version, you must run the setcsn command to record the chassis serial number. The chassis serial number can be recorded only once. This command verifies the specified serial number, and if the number was previously recorded, this command will not allow you to set a different serial number.

Run this command on the main system controller. The chassis serial number is maintained as part of the platform configuration information.

Note – Sun manufacturing records the chassis serial number of Sun Fire high-end systems that ship with SMS 1.4 installed. Run the showplatform(1M) command to determine whether a chassis serial number was previously assigned to your system.

OPTIONS

-c chassis_serial_ number
