    Thanks!

    My system is:

    (prtconf)

    System Model: IBM,7025-F80
    Machine Serial Number: 100491F
    Processor Type: PowerPC_RS64-III
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Processor Clock Speed: 451 MHz
    CPU Type: 64-bit
    Kernel Type: 64-bit
    LPAR Info: -1 NULL
    Memory Size: 4096 MB
    Good Memory Size: 4096 MB
    Firmware Version: IBM,M2P040709_condor_

    Any way to determine if the sysplanar/motherboard has been replaced in the
    past?

    I don't see any evidence through SMIT.

    Thanks!

    I think you can set it back to the chassis serial via the service
    processor. I have seen this happen; but usually in a major upgrade.

    You might need a CE code. This used to an issue on S70s when you upgraded
    them to the new S7As chipsets.

    This could happen if the sysplannar board/motherboard has been replaced
    recently.
    Thanks.

    Anyone see this before?

    After a firmware upgrade, the serial number through "prtconf" has changed?

    Not the same as the chasis serial number....

    Or maybe it's always been different?

    Thanks!
