<title>Configuring the Hard Disk Vendor Product Data (VPD)</title>
<body>
<p>
Oracle VM VirtualBox reports 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:
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/SerialNumber" "serial"
$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/FirmwareRevision" "firmware"
$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ModelNumber" "model"</pre>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
The above commands apply to virtual machines with an AHCI (SATA)
controller. The commands for virtual machines with an IDE
controller are:
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/SerialNumber" "serial"
$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/FirmwareRevision" "firmware"
$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/PrimaryMaster/ModelNumber" "model"</pre>
<p>
For hard disks, you can mark the drive as having a
non-rotational medium by using the following command:
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/NonRotational" "1"</pre>
<p>
Additional three parameters are needed for CD/DVD drives to
report the vendor product data:
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIVendorId" "vendor"
VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIProductId" "product"
VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/Config/Port0/ATAPIRevision" "revision"</pre>
<p>
The vendor id is an 8 byte alphanumeric string, the product id
an 16 byte alphanumeric string and the revision a 4 byte
alphanumeric string. Instead of Port0, referring to the first
port, specify the desired SATA hard disk port.
