Host capture serial number in the VC database

Hi all

Has anyone written anything to enter the serial number of host machine and store it in the database of VC? We want to hang the VC on our Asset Mgmt tool but requires the serial number of the machine. This should be fairly simple because it is quite easy to call commands sysytem on the box itself.

Thank you

Ryan

If you are referring to the number of hardware inventory, yes it is removable and should be set. Take a peek at HostHardwareSummary http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.HardwareSummary.html you also be able to extract more details about material and depending on the provider, the information may vary in the table [otherIdentifyingInfo] , I know about HP on the bl460c hardware, only the inventory number is available, but again the data available may vary depending on the seller and a few tests will tell you what you can extract.

  • Message 'the underlying connection was closed unexpectedly' when you enter the serial number for the weather and wildlife program.

    Original title: message "the underlying connection was closed unexpectedly.

    I use an updated, newly installed Windows 7 Home Premium from Windows XP. I downloaded and installed a program called the weather and wildlife and when I enter my serial number for verification in order to access the program I get an error box that says: "the underlying connection was closed: the connection was closed unexpectedly."

    I tried to disable the firewall, but this does not solve the problem. I do not have antivirus software installed so that either cannot interfere.
    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

    Hello Srimadhwa,

    Thanks for your suggestions. The internet connection works properly on the computer.
    When I wrote my first question I had difficulties to access weather data and wildlife in every web browser I've used. For example, I tried to download the software from the download page of W & W and in Explorer, it would get a page that says "Cannot display Page". Other browsers had other types of errors. Finally, the company sent me a file of the program that I installed but then when I entered the serial number, I would get the message "the underlying connection was closed unexpectedly.
    This morning I tried again to download the program from the W & W page and also to enter my serial number for the installed program and it seems that the W & W database is connected successfully, but now I get a message saying that the serial number is invalid (which is certainly not the case).
    Since for some unknown reason the databased WW can now access my computer I have now will contact the company to see why my serial number is rejected.
    Thanks a lot again!

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the new motherboard more PXE - E61: Media test failure, check

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    However, I have several problems:

    1. The BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the motherboard during the boot process and sends a message to the effect. I hit the ENTER button start continues.

    I tried to access the BIOS to enter the serial number or other possible solutions, I found online. Help forum a HP had a BIOS software tool for editing of Compaq in 2000 but said it would only be on the desktop and HP staff will provide a BIOS for my laptop.

    2. I get two error messages that

      • PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

      • PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

    I didn't know all the patches for this issue, but it only delays the process of starting shortly before it continues.

    Finally, the computer starts Windows, but other problems.

    mhscholder,

    There isn't any publicly available method to update information in the BIOS.  HP only authorized service providers can update the MB after installation.  You will get this message during boot every time.  You also won't be able to run a recovery since the recovery media is looking for this information.

    The PXE errors generally occur during the initialization of the network is listed in the boot order before the hard drive.

  • Note the serial number of the UUT in the main sequence

    Hello

    I want to write the serial number of the object to be measured on the main sequence.

    I know that I can access this value through RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber. I can write the serial number in this variable and it works as long as the report is not generated on the fly. If activate on the fly to have pointed out, my serial number of UUT report rest to 'NONE '.

    Is it possible to force the regeneration of the report with the last value of variables? I noticed that there's something similar for the runtime. During the execution of the sequence, on-the-fly feature enabled, the report indicates "0 seconds" for the period of performance. However, when execution is complete, this report field is updated with the actual value.

  • VISA devices with the same serial number and the vendor ID does not work (0xBFFF003A)

    Hi all

    I need to acquire the data of two meters of power YOKOGAWA with VISA driver (USB connection).

    They work very well if used alone, but they do not work when are used toghether. In particular, when I plug in and turn on the two of them, NOR MAX shows me the following error message:

    0XBFFF003A (VI_ERROR_INV_SETUP)

    viFindRsrc return 0xBFFF003A (cannot start the operation because the installer is not valid (because of attributes defined in an inconsistent state).)

    Please make sure that VISA is properly installed on this system.

    Possible causes of this error:
    1. more than one passport may be to attempt to claim the same resource.  You can try to disable passport to understand which Passport is the cause of the error.
    2 you have connected multiple no configured plug-and-play devices that have the same name of the resource. For example, the vendor ID and the serial number may be the same.

    In fact, according to MAX, both power meters have the same serial number and the same vendor ID; so, this seems to be the reason why they do not work together.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you all
