UUID stands for a Universal Unique
IDentifier. These are 128 bit numbers assigned to any object within a DCE cell
which is guaranteed to be unique. The mechanism used to guarantee that UUIDs are
Unique is through combinations of hardware addresses, time stamps and random
seeds
There is a reference in
the UUID to the hardware address of the first network card on the host which
generated the UUID - this reference is intended to ensure the UUID will be
unique in space as the MAC address of every network card is assigned by a single
global authority and is guaranteed to be unique.

I'm sure you know what UUID is, but this is from
Compaq.

Where on a Compaq
Proliant can I find the UUID of a machine?
Is this number
unique to every machine made?
What else can you tell me about this.
