lmhostid(1)lmhostid(1)NAMElmhostid - report the hostid of a system
SYNOPSISlmhostid [ -type ] [ -n ]
DESCRIPTIONlmhostid calls the FLEXlm version of gethostid and displays the results.
The output of lmhostid looks like this:
lmhostid - Copyright (C) 1989, 1990 Highland Software, Inc.
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "1200abcd"
OPTIONS-n Prints the hostid without explanatory header.
-type This depends on the platform. On most platforms, there's only
one hostid type, so there's no applicable -type. On hp700,
there's 2 types of hostids; FLEXlm defaults to the uname -i
hostid, but the /etc/lanscan ethernet hostid is available via
-ether. SCO has 2 hostids available. The current default is
uname -x as a string. For historical reasons, a version of
this hostid as hex number is available with -long argument,
which should only be used with older FLEXlm-based applications.
-ether (only on HP machines) specifies that the ethernet hostid should
be used rather than the uname -i hostid.
-long (On SCO machines) On SCO, this specifies that the serial number
should have leading characters stripped, and converted to a
32-bit long int.
Here's how to determine the hostid on many support systems.
Architecture Host ID How to Determine
______________________________________________________________________
Apollo 20-bit node ID lcnode -me, e.g., BE70
Convex 32-bit hostid getsysinfo
Decstation ethernet address arp hostname, e.g., 080020005532
DG aviion 32-bit hostid /usr/sbin/systemid, e.g., 0c020972
HP 32-bit dec hostid uname -i, e.g., 2005771344
id module read ID typed on module, remove `A',
and convert remainder to hex,
e.g., 0c127532
ethernet lanscan (use station address
without leading 0x),
e.g., 0000F0050185
Mips 32-bit hostid hwconf
Motorola 88K 32-bit hostid lmhostid
NeXT 32-bit hostid hostid

RS/6000 32-bit hostid uname -m, remove last 2 digits,
use remaining last 8 digits
e.g., 12345678
SCO "ID_STRING=" uname -X, 'Serial =', e.g., sco003514
32-bit hostid same, but remove leading characters,
e.g., 3514
SGI 32-bit hostid echo `/etc/sysinfo -s` 16o p | dc
SUN 32-bit hostid hostid, e.g., 170a3472
VMS ethernet arp hostname, e.g., 080020005532
