HP Blades Serial Numbers

[Sislik]

Hi,

i have issue that i would like to get "physical serial numbers" and "real srv uuid" for blade servers behind HP VC Connect.

Issue is that on VC is set to use virtual serial numbers.

So basic response of esx to vcenter is with virtual serial number and virtual uuid.

Is there a way how to list also the physical S/N and UUID of the ESX via vCenter PowerCLI?

Regards,

Martin

Does the following also return the virtual one?

Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

    $esxcli=Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

    $hw = $esxcli.hardware.platform.get.Invoke()

    New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{

        VMHost = $esx.Name

        Serial = $hw.SerialNumber

        UUID = $hw.UUID

    }

}

Hey,

yep also just Virtual S/N and Virtual UUID.

I'm curious if this would be even possible

Wouldn't know in that case, and I don't have that HW to play around with
