[SunHELP] Where does OS get the hostid ona Intel machine?

[Meng, Andrew]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me where OS get the hostid for Intel Solaris machine? If I
install Linux on the same intel machine, do I get the same hostid. The
reason that I am asking is that some software license is linked to the
hostid. 

Thanks in advance!

Andrew
