Instructions

There are two identification tags on your appliance:
  • The VxRail appliance-serial number: You can find the serial number in VxRail Manager, or printed on the information tag. The product-serial number tag (PSNT) is a 14-digit number that is used to identify your appliance to Dell support.
  • The Service Tag: You can find the Service Tag printed on the physical appliance. The service tag is a 7-digit service tag number.
Note: Only use the VxRail appliance-serial number to contact Customer Support. The service tag number is required.

Method 1: Finding the PSNT from VxRail Plugin. 
  1. Go to the VxRail cluster > Configure > VxRail hosts > check PSNT for the host.
