How to find your product serial number in solaris

Typically in most linux systems you can find the service tag or serial number of your machine by doing “dmidecode”.  In solaris, this will not work.  However, there is an alternative way you can find the serial number by doing the following:

smbios -t SMB_TYPE_SYSTEM

This will produce the serial number to your system.  It is particularly useful when the host is at an alternate datacenter and not readily accessible.
