On Solaris it used to be the MAC address with the delimiters stripped out and the resulting hexadecimal number converted to decimal. I think it changed to just the MAC address octet without delimiters around version 5.

The long and short of it: I want to set up a quick ITSM install and poke around / evaluate / get an idea what I'm in for. I've downloaded BMCRemedyITSMSuitePreconfiguredStack8.1.00.Linux.tar.gz, which just appears to be an ARServer/Midtier plus all the ITSM bits. Cool. So I set up a DB, set up a VM make sure it's got all the Linux bits that it needs and plenty of disk space, fire up the installer, and it asks for a license key. Presumably because there is so much data in the ITSM install, it violates the "no more than 10k records" condition of a demo-licensed arserver. Cool, cool. I can go get an eval license off the BMC site. But I need the Host-ID. The only place I know to get the Host-ID is off the arserver license dialog. Which I don't have. Because I don't have an arserver yet! And while I could go on ... install the arserver, get the hostID, go get my eval license, then come back and install the rest of ITSM, it seems like it'd be awful nice to be able to use this all-in-one installer and get it over with all in one go. Does anyone know a way to get the host-id off a system before you put up an arserver? thanks, -Andy _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
