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.
