9.16 Configuring the hard disk vendor product data
(VPD)
VirtualBoxreports vendor product data for its virtual hard disks which consist of hard
disk serial number,firmware revision and model number. These can be changed using
the following commands:
VBoxManage setextradata "My VM"
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/SerialNumber"
"serial"
VBoxManage setextradata "My VM"
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/FirmwareRevision"
"firmware"
VBoxManage setextradata "My VM"
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ModelNumber"
"model"
The serial number is a 20 byte alphanumeric string, the firmware revision an 8 byte
alphanumeric string and the model number a 40 byte alphanumeric string. Instead of
“Port0”(referring to the first port), specify the desired SATA hard disk port.
