If your familiar with the DELL web based iDRAC interface then you will know that navigating it is exceptionally easy. The very first screen gives you access to the key system information such as the Service Tag. But if the web interface is down, you can SSH into the iDRAC and retrieve the same information using the iDRAC SM-CLP Command Line Interface.
SSH to the iDRAC IP:
ssh root@123.45.67.89
root@123.45.67.89’s password:
Once you have logged in, you will get a prompt /admin1->
Type the following command lines to show the service tag:
cd hdwr2
cd chassis1
show
The output will look like this:
/admin1-> cd hdwr2 /admin1/hdwr2 /admin1/hdwr2-> show /admin1/hdwr2 properties ElementName = Hardware associations owningcollectionelement : OwnedElement = /admin1/hdwr2 OwningElement = /admin1 memberofcollection : Collection = /admin1/hdwr2 Member = /admin1/hdwr2/chassis1 targets chassis1 verbs cd show help version /admin1/hdwr2-> cd chassis1 /admin1/hdwr2/chassis1 /admin1/hdwr2/chassis1-> show /admin1/hdwr2/chassis1 properties ChassisPackageType = 17 (Main System Chassis) ElementName = DCIM PowerEdge R620 Chassis Manufacturer = Dell Inc.
