NAME¶
sys_ident - generate unique identification numbers
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/sbin/sys_ident -s
/usr/sbin/sys_ident -p
DESCRIPTION¶
The
sys_ident utility implements algorithms for generating identification
numbers that are uniqe to each system. These numbers are generated with the
same algorithm as the numbers generated by
uname -f on AIX.
When invoked with the
-s option, a 64-bit identification number will be
printed (as a 16-character hexadecimal number). The number will also be unique
for each partition on a partitioned system.
When invoked with the
-p option, a 32-bit processor serial number will be
printed (as an 8-character hexadecimal number).
OPTIONS¶
- -s
