C.3. Determining the sid
Several methods require a value for the
sid, or server ID, parameter. Note that this is different from the system_id. You may determine the sid of a machine in two different ways:
- The first option is to log into the RHN website, click the name of a system, and view the
sidat the end of the URL in the location bar. It follows the "=" symbol and is part of a string that resembles the following: "systems/details/Overview.do?sid=1003486534". - The second option is to use the
list_user_systemsmethod within the system class to obtain a list of systems available to the user that contains the associatedsids.
