[edit] PowerEdge Servers
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell/SuSE Linux Enterprise Server on PowerEdge Servers are fully supported by Dell.
[edit] Support and Documentation
See support.dell.com.
[edit] Find out your service tag number
Support is given on your system's service tag number. A system is e.g. a server. Find out your service tag number
- by looking at the label on the chassis
- by using OpenManage
- via a Linux command
Linux command example:
hwinfo --bios | grep -E "System Info|Serial:" | grep -n1 System | tail -n1 | sed 's/"//g' | awk '{print $3;}'
Explanation: hwinfo --bios outputs (almost) all bios data. You filter for lines containing "System Info" or "Serial:". You use the first "Serial" under the first occurrence of "System Info", omit its key and print its value.
