| 7 | <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> reports vendor product data for its virtual hard disks
|
|---|
| 8 | which consist of hard disk serial number, firmware revision and model number. These can be changed using the
|
|---|
| 9 | following commands: </p>
|
|---|
| 10 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 11 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/SerialNumber" "serial"
|
|---|
| 12 | $ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 13 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/FirmwareRevision" "firmware"
|
|---|
| 14 | $ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 15 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ModelNumber" "model"</pre>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>The serial number is a 20 byte alphanumeric string, the firmware revision an 8 byte alphanumeric string and the
|
|---|
| 17 | model number a 40 byte alphanumeric string. Instead of Port0, referring to the first port, specify the
|
|---|
| 18 | required SATA hard disk port. </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <p>The above commands apply to virtual machines with an AHCI (SATA) controller. The commands for virtual machines
|
|---|
| 20 | with an IDE controller are: </p>
|
|---|
| 21 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 22 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/SerialNumber" "serial"
|
|---|
| 23 | $ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 24 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/FirmwareRevision" "firmware"
|
|---|
| 25 | $ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 26 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/ModelNumber" "model"</pre>
|
|---|
| 27 | <p>For hard disks, you can mark the drive as having a nonrotational medium by using the following command: </p>
|
|---|
| 28 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 29 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/NonRotational" "1"</pre>
|
|---|
| 30 | <p>Additional three parameters are needed for CD/DVD drives to report the vendor product data: </p>
|
|---|
| 31 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 32 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIVendorId" "vendor"
|
|---|
| 33 | VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 34 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIProductId" "product"
|
|---|
| 35 | VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 36 | "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIRevision" "revision"</pre>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>The vendor id is an 8 byte alphanumeric string, the product id an 16 byte alphanumeric string and the revision a
|
|---|
| 38 | 4 byte alphanumeric string. Instead of Port0, referring to the first port, specify the required SATA hard
|
|---|
| 39 | disk port. </p>
