PSU serial #

hi guys,

 

I hv prod f5 running now..

 

to verify the PSU serial number , run "tmsh show sys hardware" to get the serial number ? or should I "unplug" the power supply to check this out? or verify wt sale?

 

are serial numbers obtained are the same? just curious...

 

thank you

    running

    tmsh show sys hardware field-fmt

    you'll get some information about the PSUs. Serial Number field is present but I guess the value is not to be always considered "valid", depending on the platform.

    For a BIGIP 2000 for ex I would get

    sys hardware hardware-version psu1 {
    model SPAFFIV-03G
    name psu1
    type psu
    versions.0.name Location
    versions.0.version 1
    versions.1.name Manufacturer
    versions.1.version POWER-ONE
    versions.2.name Revision
    versions.2.version 02
    versions.3.name Serial number
    versions.3.version 00120

    For a Viprion 2400

    sys hardware hardware-version psu1 {
    model SPAFFIV-01G
    name psu1
    type psu
    versions.0.name Location
    versions.0.version 1
    versions.1.name Manufacturer
    versions.1.version POWER-ONE
    versions.2.name Revision
    versions.2.version AB
    versions.3.name Serial number
    versions.3.version 1143PO-00097

    I get a different value for the psu2 of that Viprion. The value for the 2000 looks "suspicious" to me.
