Unique ID on Solaris in visualized environment?

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi

I need to know what is the unique identifier for solaris OS even in a virtualized environment?

Will "Using Universally Unique Identifiers" help?

virtinfo -u
Domain UUID: 9db53f14-f27c-69f9-a71c-8926e9ae6eed

If Not, then let me know?

Would appreciate if similar UNIQUE id (of course in virtualized environment) is told for
a) AIX
b) Linux
c) HPUX
as well.

Thanks

The classic Solaris command

hostid

is HW-bound.
If you just want a unique ID I suggest this portable method:

cksum /etc/hosts | awk '{print $1}'

or

uname -n | cksum | awk '{print $1}'

Hi

Thanks for the reply. But i need a unique ID under virtualization. and that too constant for a particular instance if run multiple times on single instance

How about the ethernet address of the first (virtual) NIC on each host?
