    Substitute the dots with spaces and print $3:

    % lscfg -vl rmt1 | grep Serial | sed 's/\./ /g'|awk '{print $3}'
    6811092091

    Feed the number to 'bc':

    % lscfg -vl rmt1 | grep Serial | sed 's/\./ /g'|awk '{print $3}' | bc
    6811092091

    Ooops, my serial didn't contain any leading zeros...

    % echo 000000097418 | bc
    97418
