- Vmware Vm Bios Serial Number
I changed the DMI information (Vendor, Serial Number) and saved the BIOS but still the BIOS Serial Number shown in the VM is the one created by Vmware. I can't find a way to have the Serial Number of the VM set the physical machine value (displayed by dmidecode -t1).
Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading our environment from 3.5 to 4.1 U1. We are building our hosts with a fresh install of vSphere and migrating our guest servers to the new hosts.
Will the BIOS Serial Number change when we migrate the server to the new host? When I display the licence information for the application the BIOS serial number is displayed as: BIOS SERIAL NUMBER: VMware-50 15 0a 30 59 1c 8f c3-8e e7 08 b6 c2 12 23 65. Change Serial Number on VM in VMWare 5.5. This person is a verified professional. Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that. Get-Vmhost vmhostname Get-View select @Name='Serial Number'; Expression=($.Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo where $.IdentifierType.Key -eq.
However we have an application installed on a server that uses the BIOS Serial Number and the MAC address of the NIC for licencing. When we view the licence information it shows the BIOS serial number, machine name and MAC address. Obviously the machine name wont be changing when we migrate to a new host
However I would like to upgrade the NIC to a VMXNET3 card and this will change the MAC address. Would there be any problems assigning a manual MAC address to the NIC using the MAC address of the original NIC?

The HEX numbers in the BIOS serial number displayed are the same as the uuid.bios in the server vmx file. If the BIOS serial number were to change, would I be able to edit the vmx file and change the uuid.bios?
Thanks

The manufacturer, as set in the BIOS of my VM, is 'VMWare'. I want to change that to other string. How to do that?

See Virtual Machine and OEM license for Windows for the only way I could find of modifying the manufacturer.
According to it, if your computer is known to VMware, then by adding to the virtual machine's configuration file (vmx) the option:
then the Manufacturer and Product Name strings in the virtual machine become the same as the Manufacturer and Product Name of the host system. This requires the destination host to have the same hardware as the guest.
This is as far as I will go, as modding the VMware BIOS is somewhat on the edge of legality. If you wish to go this way, this is a start.
