I tried the following
- stop the vm
- enable extra config in global setting "enable.additional.vm.configuration"
- change account setting "allow.additional.vm.configuration.list.kvm"
to "sysinfo,system,entry", of course you can change global or domain
settings.
- update extra config of vm
cmk update virtualmachine id=2446f9d9-83ad-4b4c-bf3e-df041a390fcf
extraconfig="<sysinfo type='smbios'> <system> <entry
name='serial'>MISERIAL</entry> </system> </sysinfo>"
- start the vm
vm has the following setting, which looks ok
<sysinfo type='smbios'>
<system>
<entry name='serial'>MISERIAL</entry>
</system>
</sysinfo>
<sysinfo type='smbios'>
<system>
<entry name='manufacturer'>Apache Software Foundation</entry>
<entry name='product'>CloudStack KVM Hypervisor</entry>
<entry name='uuid'>2446f9d9-83ad-4b4c-bf3e-df041a390fcf</entry>
</system>
</sysinfo>
