If a user needs to access the physical serial number of a server blade, the OA displays both the physical

and serial numbers (logical).
After server profile creation, the following guidelines apply:

Serial numbers (logical) can be changed from factory default to VC-assigned.

Factory default serial numbers cannot be changed to serial numbers (logical).

User-defined serial number (logical) ranges can be expanded.

User-defined serial number (logical) ranges cannot be reduced.

All components must be at the required versions or the feature does not function:

o

OA, v2.20 or higher

o

iLO, v1.60 or higher
For additional information on required firmware versions and to download firmware upgrades,
see the HP website (

CAUTION:

The use of Serial Number (Logical) Settings might prevent the proper operation of

software designed to track servers by serial number or UUID. Do not enable this feature until

you consider and understand the impact to the entire software environment in which the servers

operate. This impact includes, but is not limited to, warranty service, asset tracking, server

deployment, and software licensing.
