When you phone Sun support or third parties, they always ask for the serial number of the machine you need assistance with.
On Solaris 10 (or Solaris 8 from 4/01) on Sun Intel / Sparc hardware, you can now find the serial number of a remote piece of Sun hardware, from the command line.
This will obviously save you from visiting each machine in your inventory and finding the little lable on the chassis.....
