NAME

lmhostid − report the hostid of a system

SYNOPSIS

lmhostid [ ether ]

DESCRIPTION

lmhostid calls the FLEXlm version of gethostid and displays the results.  NOTE: In FLEXlm v2.4 and later, lmhostid is either a link or a copy of the lmutil program. 

The output of lmhostid looks like this:

lmhostid - Copyright (C) 1989, 1990 Highland Software, Inc.
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "1200abcd"

OPTIONS

ether (only on HP machines) specifies that the ethernet hostid should be used rather than the external ID module. 

long (on HP and SCO machines) On HP, specifies that the HP ID-Module should be used for a hostid.  This is a 10 character decimal number, and is used by FLEXlm as a 32-bit long int.  On SCO, this specifies that the serial number should have leading characters stripped, and converted to a 32-bit long int. 

uname
(on HP systems only) returns the machine id from uname -i, and stores the id as a 32-bit long int.

string (on SCO systems only) uses the ’Serial = ’ field from uname -X, and stores this as a string, and is the default for SCO. 

HOSTID

Here’s how to determine the hostid on many support systems. 

 ArchitectureHost ID  How to Determine
______________________________________________________________________
Apollo20-bit node ID  lcnode -me, e.g., BE70
Convex32-bit hostid  getsysinfo
Decstationethernet address  arp hostname, e.g., 080020005532
DG aviion32-bit hostid  /usr/sbin/systemid, e.g., 0c020972
HP32-bit dec hostid uname -i, e.g., 2005771344
id module  read ID typed on module, remove ‘A’,
  and convert remainder to hex,
  e.g.,0c127532
ethernet   lanscan (use station address
  without leading 0x),
  e.g., 0000F0050185
Mips32-bit hostid  hwconf
Motorola 88K32-bit hostid  lmhostid
NeXT32-bit hostid  hostid
RS/600032-bit hostid  uname -m, remove last 2 digits,
  use remaining last 8 digits
  e.g., 12345678
SCO"ID_STRING="  uname -X, ’Serial =’, e.g., sco003514
32-bit hostid  same, but remove leading characters,
  e.g., 3514
SGI32-bit hostid  echo ‘/etc/sysinfo -s‘ 16o p | dc
SUN32-bit hostid  hostid, e.g., 170a3472
VMSethernet   arp hostname, e.g., 080020005532
