ECS: How to obtain the server chassis and node serial number via CLI
Summary: This knowledge base article explains how to obtain the server chassis and node serial numbers via the CLI.
Audience Level: Customer

Instructions
In order to obtain the serial number from an ECS node, we need to understand the layout of the server chassis and node.
To identify a node, we should firstly identify the server chassis which holds 4 nodes. The serial number tag is located between the nodes within the front middle section of the server chassis as follows:
In order to obtain the server chassis serial number, execute the following command via CLI on any node within the chassis. Note if this is an 8 node system the server chassis serial number will be the same for the first 4 nodes (1-4) while the remaining 4 nodes (5-8) will have a different server chassis number:
admin@provo:~> sudo dmidecode | grep -A4 'System Information'
System Information
Manufacturer: EMC
Product Name: S2600JF
Version: FFF
Serial Number: FC1234567890
Once the server chassis serial number is obtained, you can identify the node serial number which is located under the 1 GbE port on the back bottom left section of each node as follows:
Execute the following command to obtain the node serial number for the concerning node. Note the node serial number will be different for each node:
admin@provo:~> viprexec -i "sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 -e 'Server' -A3 -e 'Mount' | grep -A3 'Chassis'"
Output from host : 192.168.219.1
Type: Main Server Chassis
Lock: Not Present
Version: 105-000-410-01
Serial Number: FC01234567891
Output from host : 192.168.219.2
Type: Main Server Chassis
Lock: Not Present
Version: 105-000-345-02
Serial Number: FC01234567892
Output from host : 192.168.219.3
Type: Main Server Chassis
Lock: Not Present
Version: 105-000-345-02
Serial Number: FC01234567893
Output from host : 192.168.219.4
Type: Main Server Chassis
Lock: Not Present
Version: 105-000-345-02
Serial Number: FC01234567894
With the server chassis and node serial numbers, you may combine these two serial numbers in order to locate the correct node within a data center for identification and/or activity purposes.

I am not able to access this CLI link https://dell.to/48cYZMp. Can you direct me to any other link?
I see some version number and serial numbers in GET /license. Are these related to ECS or license related?
