I used "/usr/sbin/dmidecode | egrep -i 'BIOS Information' -A 20" command, it shows some information about BIOS but not any information that can be used as ID. I tried using command "vpddecode" but it does not give required output on linux boxes: # vpddecode # vpddecode 2.9 # No VPD structure found, sorry. Please let me know hopw to get this info.
