# showplatform -p csn will show the Chasis Serial number while eeprom will show only if nvramrc is set to true.

Thanks, but, Unfortunately it does not work on my Ultra 45 (with Solaris 10 installed)

Would this work on Sun 9? I do have it installed in a Sun 10.. but I want it to work in other old servers.

Thanks for telling your readers about sneep; I’m glad that it has been useful to you.

In your tutorial here, you have an optional step in which you show how to create a symbolic link to sneep, and that will work just fine.

I thought that I would mention that sneep includes a utility which can do this for you, and the link is registered as part of sneep so that it is removed if the package is removed.

$ /opt/SUNWsneep/bin/add_sneep_to_bin [directory]

By default, a link to sneep is placed in /usr/sbin unless a directory name is given.
