We could also perform this step by editing the vmx file of the VM before powering on the VM and adding the line below to either change or keep UUID of the Virtual Machine. Open the vmx file of the VM using the vi editor and add the below line to change the UUID. Uuid.action = “create” To keep the UUID, add the below line. Recently a user was evaluating our software and decided to install it under VMWare (the first one in several years), but he obtained a HDD serial number of '00000001' which, though not exactly invalid, is not exactly random either! I therefore strongly suspect that it is VMWare that is generating the serial number.

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.

Vmware Change Disk Serial Number Changer

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

Vmware Change Disk Serial Number Internet Download Manager

  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.

  • 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.

Vmware Workstation 12 Serial Number

  • dashboard.protected.vm.count.interval=7

    Specifies the number of days for which the dashboard displays VM protection status.

  • guestFileRestore.guest.operation.interval=5

    Specifies the time interval, in seconds, that SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere monitors for completion of guest operations on the guest (Online Disk and Restore Files). The total wait time is set by guestFileRestore.online.disk.timeout and uestFileRestore.restore.files.timeout.

  • guestFileRestore.monitorInterval=30

    Specifies the time interval, in minutes, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in monitors for expired guest file restore sessions. Any session that is running beyond the configured session time is disconnected.

  • 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

    Specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits between attempts to mount a volume as a NFS Datastore in vCenter.

  • 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.

    For example, the environmental variable VIRTUAL_MACHINE.2 provides information about the second virtual machine in the backup.

  • script.virtual.machine.info.format= %s %s %s %s %s

    Provides information about the virtual machine. The format for this information, which is set in the environment variable, is the following: VM name VM UUID VM power state (on off) VM snapshot taken (true false) IP address(es)

    The following is an example of the information you might provide:

    VIRTUAL_MACHINE.2=VM 1 564d6769-f07d-6e3b-68b1f3c29ba03a9a POWERED_ON true 10.0.4.2

  • storage.connection.timeout=600000

    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

  • vmware.max.concurrent.snapshots=30

    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent VMware snapshots that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in performs on the server.

    This number is checked on a per datastore basis and is checked only if the policy has 'VM consistent' selected. If you are performing crash-consistent backups, this setting does not apply.

  • vmware.max.concurrent.snapshots.delete=30

    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent VMware snapshot delete operations, per datastore, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in performs on the server.

    The default value is '30'.

  • vmware.query.unresolved.retry.count=10

    Specifies the maximum number of times the SnapCenter VMware plug-in retries sending a query about unresolved volumes because of '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors.

  • vmware.quiesce.retry.interval=5

    Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits between sending the queries regarding VMware snapshot '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors during a backup.

  • vmware.query.unresolved.retry.delay= 60000

    Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits between sending the queries regarding unresolved volumes because of '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors. This error occurs when cloning a VMFS datastore.

  • vmware.reconfig.vm.retry.count=10

    Specifies the maximum number of times the SnapCenter VMware plug-in retries sending a query about reconfiguring a VM because of '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors.

  • vmware.reconfig.vm.retry.delay=30000

    Specifies the maximum time, in milliseconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits between sending queries regarding reconfiguring a VM because of '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors.

  • vmware.rescan.hba.retry.count=3/how-to-bypass-serial-key-on-gfwl-gta-iv-pc.html.

    Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the SnapCenter VMware plug-in waits between sending the queries regarding rescanning the host bus adapter because of '…​time limit for holding off I/O…​' errors.

  • vmware.rescan.hba.retry.delay=30000
