Alim Nassor Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Hi, As stated above the disk serial is not consistent, have a look at the screenshots. When I switch between Instance the serial changes every time. My problem with this is that I have an piece of expensive software I use in an VM, but licensing system of that software works on the HDD Serial. So I'm not able to use the software. Is there an possible solution to fix the serial number? e.g. set it forever? I tried VolumeID from Sysinternals, but that didn't do anything. Cheers.

sota Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A little more info on the VM and how the "disks" are connected to it could be beneficial. Quote Link to comment
Alim Nassor Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Hi, I might have been more clearly, it is an HDD in and VM in unRaid. Cheers. Edited June 11, 2020 by Alim Nassor Typo Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 If you use scsi instead of virtio maybe this would work. https://serverfault.com/questions/318755/qemu-can-i-set-the-serial-number-on-a-virtual-scsi-device Quote Link to comment
