Does the serverId attribute get dropped on the filesystem?

In the configuration file, the <server> element contains an attribute called "serverId." I'm trying to dynamically drop a config file on the server using Chef, but I want to use the correct UUID for the serverId attribute. Is there a place this ID gets dropped on the filesystem, like how the agents have a guid.txt file in their install directory?

    Hi Scott,

    There's nowhere in the filesystem where the serverId is persisted, like in case of the agent.  If you do not have the serverId defined in your config file and you start up the server, a new serverId will be created. The change in this value does not affect any basic operations of the server, but its preferable that it should remain the same for a server installation across restarts.
