NAME
       sys_ident - generate unique identification numbers

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/sys_ident -s
       /usr/sbin/sys_ident -p

DESCRIPTION
       The  sys_ident utility implements algorithms for generating identifica‐
       tion numbers that are uniqe to each system.  These numbers  are	gener‐
       ated  with  the	same algorithm as the numbers generated by uname -f on
       AIX.

       When invoked with the -s option, a 64-bit identification number will be
       printed	(as  a 16-character hexadecimal number).  The number will also
       be unique for each partition on a partitioned system.

       When invoked with the -p option, a 32-bit processor serial number  will
       be printed (as an 8-character hexadecimal number).

OPTIONS
       -s     Generate a unique system/partition identification 64-bit number

       -p     Generate the processor serial number
