Hyper-V on Server 2012 R2. Is there a way to assign a hardware serial number to a virtual disk in hyper-v. I have an application that references the hard disk serial number for licensing and it appears the serial number is blank to the operating system (server 2012 R2). The Unit Number in VMware corresponds to the Target ID in Windows. For the D1 mount point above (disk 5 in Windows) with Bus 3 Unit 0, the corresponding disk in VMware would be Windows Location. How to change hard disk serial number Windows XP/7/8/10 HD 2018 Hello friends 'Dot MAX BD' This is my Channel, This channel contains Tutorials related, I. Disk Volume Serial Number Changer is a program that can change the serial number of any hard drive. It will NOT change the physical serial of your hard disk, just the internal number that the operating system applies to it. This can be useful when you try to install programs that take the serial number of your hard disk as a reference. Change the serial number Changing serial number using Boot flag. Set the Boot flag: Go to virtual machine configuration Hardware Boot Order Advanced settings in Boot flags field paste the flag below alongside with a new serial number next: devices.smbios.serial= Here's an example: Start your virtual machine and check.

To improve operational efficiency, you can modify the scbr.override configuration file to change default values. These values control settings such as the number of VMware snapshots that are created or deleted during a backup or the amount of time before a backup script stops running.

The scbr.override configuration file is used by the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere environments that support SnapCenter application-based data protection operations. If this file does not exist, then you must create it from the template file.

Create the scbr.override configuration File

  1. Go to optnetappscvservicestandalone_aegisetcscbrscbr.override-template.

  2. Copy the scbr.override-template file to a new file called scbr.override in the optnetappscvservicestandalone_aegisetcscbr directory.

Properties you can override

  • By default, the template uses hash symbol to comment the configuration properties. To use a property to modify a configuration value, you must remove the # characters.

  • /vizio-firmware-downloads.html. You must restart the service on the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere host for the changes to take effect.

You can use the following properties that are listed in the scbr.override configuration file to change default values.

  • guestFileRestore.online.disk.timeout=100

    Specifies the time, in seconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits for an online disk operation on a guest VM to complete. Note that there is an additional 30-second wait time before the plug-in polls for completion of the online disk operation.

  • guestFileRestore.restore.files.timeout=3600

    Specifies the time, in seconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits for a restore files operation on a guest VM to complete. If the time is exceeded, the process is ended and the job is marked as failed.

  • guestFileRestore.robocopy.directory.flags=/R:0 /W:0 /ZB /CopyAll /EFSRAW /A-:SH /e /NJH /NDL /NP

    Specifies the extra robocopy flags to use when copying directories during guest file restore operations.

    Do not remove /NJH or add /NJS because this will break the parsing of the restore output.

    Do not allow unlimited retries (by removing the /R flag) because this might cause endless retries for failed copies.

    The default values are '/R:0 /W:0 /ZB /CopyAll /EFSRAW /A-:SH /e /NJH /NDL /NP' .

  • guestFileRestore.robocopy.file.flags=/R:0 /W:0 /ZB /CopyAll /EFSRAW /A-:SH /NJH /NDL /NP

    Specifies the extra robocopy flags to use when copying individual files during guest file restore operations.

    Do not remove /NJH or add /NJS because this will break the parsing of the restore output.

    Do not allow unlimited retries (by removing the /R flag) because this might cause endless retries for failed copies.

    The default values are '/R:0 /W:0 /ZB /CopyAll /EFSRAW /A-:SH /NJH /NDL /NP'.

  • guestFileRestore.sessionTime=1440

    Specifies the time, in minutes, that SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere keeps a guest file restore session active.

  • guestFileRestore.use.custom.online.disk.script=true

    Specifies whether to use a custom script for onlining disks and retrieving drive letters when creating guest file restore sessions. The script must be located at [Install Path] etcguestFileRestore_onlineDisk.ps1. A default script is provided with the installation. The values [Disk_Serial_Number], [Online_Disk_Output], and [Drive_Output] are replaced in the script during the attach process.

  • include.esx.initiator.id.from.cluster=true

    Specifies that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in should include iSCSI and FCP initiator IDs from all the ESXi hosts in the cluster in the application over VMDK workflows.

  • max.concurrent.ds.storage.query.count=15

    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent calls that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in can make to the SnapCenter Server to discover the storage footprint for the datastores. The plug-in makes these calls when you restart the Linux service on the SnapCenter VMware plug-in VM host.

  • nfs.datastore.mount.retry.count=3

    Specifies the maximum number of times the SnapCenter VMware plug-in tries to mount a volume as a NFS Datastore in vCenter.

  • nfs.datastore.mount.retry.delay=60000

  • script.virtual.machine.count.variable.name= VIRTUAL_MACHINES

    Specifies the environmental variable name that contains the virtual machine count. You must define the variable before you execute any user-defined scripts during a backup job.

    For example, VIRTUAL_MACHINES=2 means that two virtual machines are being backed up.

  • script.virtual.machine.info.variable.name=VIRTUAL_MACHINE.%s

    Provides the name of the environmental variable that contains information about the nth virtual machine in the backup. You must set this variable before executing any user defined scripts during a backup.

    Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the SnapCenter Server waits for a response from the storage system.

  • vmware.esx.ip.kernel.ip.map

    There is no default value. You use this value to map the ESXi IP address to the VMkernel IP address. By default, the SnapCenter VMware plug-in uses the management VMkernel adapter IP address of the ESXi host. If you want the SnapCenter VMware plug-in to use a different VMkernel adapter IP address, you must provide an override value.

    In the following example, the management VMkernel adapter IP address is 10.225.10.56; however, the SnapCenter VMware plug-in uses the specified address of 10.225.11.57 and 10.225.11.58. And if the management VMkernel adapter IP address is 10.225.10.60, the plug-in uses the address 10.225.11.61.

    vmware.esx.ip.kernel.ip.map=10.225.10.56:10.225.11.57,10.225.11.58; 10.225.10.60:10.225.11.61
