PowerStore: Where can I find the service tag

How to find the service tag: 

• PowerStore physical location  
• Using PowerStore Manager
• Using the service console
• Using PowerStore CLI (PSTCLI)

On the base or expansion enclosure

The Service Tag for the 25-slot base enclosure is a black pull-out tag that is located between the drives in slots 16 and 17. The Service Tag includes the Part Number, Dell Service Tag, and System Serial Number.


Figure 1:  Locate the service tag on the flip side of the pull-out tag shown.

 

Using PowerStore Manager

You can view seven-digit alphanumeric service tag by clicking the Hardware tab in the top menu bar in the UI.

Logging into the appliance service console using SSH 

The service tag is displayed when you establish an SSH session to the appliance and login with the service account (if enabled). 

[SVC:service@ABCD123-A user]

You may also retrieve the service tag using the following service script: svc_diag list --basic

Or by using a grep filter: svc_diag list --basic | grep service_tag

svc_diag list --basic

Using PSTCLI

The PowerStore Manager CLI enables you to run commands on a system through a prompt from a service console, a Microsoft Windows, or UNIX Linux host. The PowerStore Manager CLI is intended for users who want to interactively manage a PowerStore system, or to use commands in scripts for automating routine tasks.
