How to collect all UCS-C series minor serial numbers

Question

Assuming one is deploying a stand alone C220 chassis which will be managed through CIMC, is there an efficient way to collect all the serial numbers for all the minor parts in the chassis?
Cutting and pasting from the GUI is painful because complete rows and / or areas (i.e. storage adapter tab) can't be copied. It needs to be done one "cell" at a time.
Other posts indicate using "connect debug-shell"  or "show server inventory", but seem to be available only on B series or possibly different chassis versions.
The server_inventory.txt you get as a result of Admin | Utilities | Generate Technical Support Data unfortunately does not include serial numbers or much detail.
Now I'm looking at simply running the following and massaging it into a pleasant spreadsheet:
show chassis
scope chassis
show cpu detail
show dimm detail
show psu detail
ow pciadapter-pid detail
show network-adapter detail
show storageadapter detail
Does anyone have any better suggestions?  I'm currently looking at CIMC v1.5(2) if it makes a difference.

Hello,
Are these rack servers managed by UCSM ?
If yes, you can export the inventoy that will include serial number information.
If not, we can use XML API to extract necessary information.

As as example,following XML query would return server model and chassis serial number
The doc has detailed information about each class.
