Hi all,
We've been using templates for months before we realized that "ocs=20
report" used Serial Number given into "demidecode -t system" to
identify=20
a VM as unique.
This Serial Number is located into=20
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_serial, and we'd really want each vm=20
to have its own Serial Number instead of the template's one.
We tried to generate a new id with uuidgen, but it can't be written into=20
the product_serial file.
Is there a simple way to do such a thing?
Thank you.
