Hi, Yes we have sudo, and I can logon to the box. I am not sure what wrappers are. We run the discovery, everything shows up EXCEPT the serial number of the Unix box with the Solaris operating system. We do not get errors on the scan. Also sneep is a Solaris utility below: _http://wikis.sun.com/display/sneep/SNEEP+FAQ_ (http://wikis.sun.com/display/sneep/SNEEP+FAQ)

We are not able to discover Solaris UNIX systems. We have no issue discovering Linux. I found a Sun tool called SNEEP that is reads the Bios Serial #/Chassis Serial # from NEW Unix hardware. However for older systems, we have to manually enter text into a file (1 X), load this into SNEEP, and then SNEEP loads the info into the EEPROM, and from that point we can retrieve the serial number. The problem is when you have 1000 servers, this is a huge manual effort, and we are trying to avoid errors.. In a message dated 10/20/2009 1:38:14 P.M.

We are being told that discovering UNIX Serial Numbers is a BUG in Remedy, and the UNIX bios/chassis serial number can not be discovered.
