How can I get the Poweredge rack server's SystemID using racadm?
I have some automation that makes decisions based on the model of the PowerEdge rack server which can be derived from the System ID, even if the server is OEM( no branding ).
This document - SMBIOS-PAE TechNote - Dell System ID Attribute - shows that the SystemID is in the output of "racadm hwinventory" in the "System.Embedded.1"
Example:
>racadm hwinventory
...
[InstanceID: System.Embedded.1]
...
SystemID = 1874
>
If I follow the documented racadm syntax, I get an error.
Example
>racadm hwinventory System.Embedded.1
ERROR: SWC0244 : Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD).
Is there way to get just the SystemID or at least just the System.Embedded.1 section? Otherwise I have to parse the entire hardware inventory for just one value, which isn't efficient.

I found this in one of the racadm CLI guides. You might see if it works for you, or look in the CLI guide specific to your version.
LifecycleController.LCAttributes.SystemID
Description: Specifies the Dell System ID.
