Intel® PPIN

Reading PPIN​

Protected Processor Inventory Number, or PPIN, is a mandatory information for enabling Intel On Demand. PPIN can be read via XCC Web GUI, XCC REST API, and LXCE OneCLI. See the following for more information.

Reading PPIN via XCC Web GUI
Open XCC Web GUI, go to Inventory page > CPU tab > Expand > PPIN
Figure 1. Reading PPIN via XCC Web GUI

Reading PPIN via XCC REST API
  1. Use the GET method with the following Request URL:
    GET https://bmc_ip/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors
    For example:
    GET https://bmc_ip/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors

  2. In the response JSON object, the Members field shows reference link to an element of processor resource.

    For example:
    "Members":[
    {
    @odata.id: "/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors/1"
    },
    {
    @odata.id: "/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors/2"
    }
    ],
  3. Select the processor you need to read the PPIN from. Use the GET method with the following Request URL, where x is the CPU numbering:
    GET https://bmc_ip/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors/x
    For example, to read Processor 1 PPIN, see the following:
    GET https://bmc_ip/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Processors/1

  4. In the response JSON object, the ProcessorId field shows the ProtectedIdentificationNumber field, which is the PPIN info of the requested CPU.

    For example:

    "ProcessorId":{
      "ProtectedIdentificationNumber":"1234567890xxxyyy"
    },

Reading PPIN via LXCE OneCLI
Input the following command:
OneCli.exe fod showppin -b XCC_USER:XCC_PASSW0RD@XCC_HOST
The output shows PPIN information. For example:
Machine Type: 7D75
Serail Number: 7D75012345
