Issue #2553 has been updated by Ken Barber. Tracker changed from Bug to Feature Subject changed from SuperMicro serialnumber fact to Support dmidecode UUID field to help with missing serialnumber cases Description updated Status changed from Needs More Information to Accepted Assignee deleted (Paul Nasrat) Target version changed from 1.6.x to 1.7.x
I would say at this point if the upstream vendor doesn't set the serial number correctly, there is little we can do about it. At least for this case. However - we could support the UUID field in dmidecode as an alternative fact perhaps ... which I think is a reasonable feature request. I'm point this at 1.7.x for now - since its a feature not a bug. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2553: Support dmidecode UUID field to help with missing serialnumber cases https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2553 Author: Jason Helfman Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: 1.7.x Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: The serialnumber from SuperMicro processors all come back as the same number across all machines. facterversion => 1.5.6 rubyversion => 1.8.7 manufacturer => Supermicro serialnumber => 1234567890 productname => X6DVL-EG2 I find the same serialnumber issue in dmidecode. However - an alternative unique identified from dmidecode is UUID. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
