Sneep provides a persistent, software-accessible Chassis Serial Number (CSN) for virtually all Sun Solaris hardware platforms. Sneep uses the system EEPROM for storage of the Chassis Serial Number and any other important user-defined data such as asset, contract, or location information. The presence of the software-accessible serial number and other service-related information can significantly simplify activities related to system service and asset management.

# /opt/SUNWsneep/bin/sneep -s <serial number>
And then later on, you can check the chassis serial number (CSN) with:
# /opt/SUNWsneep/bin/showplatform -p csn
This data is stored in NVRAM on SPARC and in a NVRAM-like file on x86.
