Hi list,
it is possible to change the DMI Chassis Serial value in the VM config?
Virtualbox is able to perform this via the following command for example: c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe setextradata "NAME_OF_VIRTUAL_MACHINE" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiChassisSerial" "123456789"
Handle 0x0300, DMI type 3, 21 bytes Chassis Information Manufacturer: Red Hat Type: Other Lock: Not Present Version: RHEL 7.2.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) Serial Number: Not Specified Asset Tag: Not Specified Boot-up State: Safe Power Supply State: Safe Thermal State: Safe Security Status: Unknown OEM Information: 0x00000000 Height: Unspecified Number Of Power Cords: Unspecified Contained Elements: 0
root@demo:~ # dmidecode -s chassis-serial-number Not Specified
I want to change the red above!! Is there a way to change that in Ovirt as well?
Best regards and thank you for your help. Christoph
You should be able to change it from the GUI: Edit -> Show Advanced Options -> System -> General -> Provide Custom serial number policy -> Custom serial number. You can also change it with the API, for example with the Python SDK: ---8<--- #!/usr/bin/python from ovirtsdk.api import API from ovirtsdk.xml import params # Connect to the server: api = API( url="https://rhevm36.example.com/ovirt-engine/api", username="admin@internal", password="...", ca_file="/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem", debug=True ) # Find the VM: vm = api.vms.get(name="myvm") # Set a custom serial number: vm.set_serial_number( params.SerialNumber( policy="custom", value="myserialnumber", ) ) vm.update() # Disconnect: api.disconnect() --->8--- -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
