StorNext M330 / StorNext M660: How Can I Find the Product Serial Number?

Question:
How can I find the Product Serial Number on a StorNext Metadata Appliance (M330/M660)?

Answer:
You will need the system (product) serial number if you want to add a licensed feature. There are two distinct ways to find the system serial number for a StorNext M330/M660.

Physical Location
The system serial number is in a clear sleeve in the back of each System Node, and on the back of the RAID Array module. An example system serial number is CX1111CKA00001, where the ### is the letters CKA for the M330, and CKB for the M660.
