Entry #416: How do I obtain a Hardware ID from an OpenVMS system?

Question
How do I obtain a Hardware ID from an OpenVMS system?
Answer
The "system hardware ID" is a Sightline-specific item, so there is no native VMS command in DCL for it. However, if the SightLine Power Agent is already installed on the machine, you can use our control program to obtain it:

$ @frtl_home:set

$ frtlcontrol report /subject=identifier

The identifier for ALPHA node CONNOR (IP address 192.168.1.231) --- a DEC 3000 Model 300 (1042) --- is "BTJ48Q4" on 5-DEC-2005:12:14
