How to find out serial number of a server?

Monday Jul 23, 2007

Have you ever wondered how to find out serial number of a server? Well, it's not as hard as it sounds:

cd /opt/SUNWsneep/bin

./sneep

What it does it simply reads the serial number from EEPROM

That's it!

Disaster Recovery Report

Monday Jul 23, 2007

For the last week, I have been doing a disaster recovery report for site LLG01. So far we have done the map of the server room (yeah 90 racks of servers) and the server dependency chart. Keeping on hard work and we will be finished by the end of this week!

Placement @ Sun

Monday Jul 23, 2007

First post, the history starts here...

It's been almost one month since I started my placement at Sun (not including the previous weekend job I had for the last year at Sun as well). Job title - Tier 1 Engineer. I have decided to share the experience with the outside world. So far it's going great, administration of Sun boxes throughout the world, sounds nice, doesn't it? :-)

Stay tuned!
