I had pinged a few of our engineers to see if they had any ideas and it turns out that the is generated based off of the uuid.bios property of a VM. One issue that they were running into was that when they deployed a Mac OS X VM from their vCD Catalog which is a clone operation, they found that the cloned instances contained the exact same serial number as the source VM and that was giving them some problems. Instead of having to manage hardware assignment across large user base, they have built a completely self-service environment for requesting access to Mac OS X VMs, which I thought was pretty neat. This week I learned about a really cool use case from one of our customers who is using vCloud Director to provision Mac OS X virtual machines to their end users both from a development standpoint but also for troubleshooting and demo purposes for their field and QA organizations. And if the program only sees the VM 'CPU ID' can that change? Also, does the VMware hardware serial number actual have anything to do with.
