Capturing UUID on a Windows sytem is done by a query to WMI such as:
string value of selects “UUID from Win32_ComputerSystemProduct” of wmi
Obviously this is trickier on UNIX system as there’s no WMI, but dmidecode comes to the rescue:
k11-dl380g3# dmidecode -s system-uuid
38303041-4B4A-4E5A-3157-202020202020
The question is how to make this into a fixlet that would pull in the UUID for both Win and UNIX. The only way I can see is by creating a recurring action that would pop the info into a txt file on UNIX and then gathering this with an RP. I can’t think of a way how to define this solely in an RP.
Is my thinking correct?
