I have a vm installed on a dell workstation. My bare metal OS is ubuntu and my vm is windows XP. We have a script hosted on a server that scans all of our IPs and gives stats on the OS installed on that ip such as memory, cpu and the dell service tag number all via WMI call. When that script scans my windows xp vm, it does not detect the service tag number on the bare metal OS. Because of that the service tag number on my bare metal doesn't show up in the report next to my windows xp machine.
Is there a way to have the baremetal os blindly pass hardware environment specs to the vms that sit on it so when scanned, those vms return that env as well as the service tag number.
try
SMBIOS.reflect.Host = "TRUE"
in the vmx-file
Didn't work.
then you are out of luck
