June 19, 2009 · Filed Under hardware · 2 Comments
sneep (Serial Number in EEPROM) is a cool utility for Solaris that can retreive the Chasis Serial Number (CSN) or the Product Serial Number (PSN). This comes real handy when taking inventory or when having to work with Sun Support. sneep can also store useful information like system Assett Tag or Location into the EEPROM which can be retreived later on.

Multiple Interfaces (NICs) use single MAC-Address in Solaris on SPARC
March 20, 2008 · Filed Under Networking · 2 Comments
In SPARC Servers running Sun Solaris, you can see multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) or interfaces are all sharing a single MAC-Address than having a unique Factory-default MAC-Address assigned to it. This is because by default, a System-Wide MAC-Address is assigned to all the NICs and hence a ifconfig -a output will show only one MAC-Address.
