- We send appliances to customers, and since some days ago the machines come from a new vendor.
- The machines have new BIOS and motherboards: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios
- We would like to use /sys/class/dmi/id to identify the machines, so they become unique by its serial number.
This is the output that we can get from id directory:
id # for filename in *; do [[ -f ${filename} ]] && echo ${filename}: && cat ${filename}; done bios_date: 07/12/2010 bios_vendor: American Megatrends Inc. bios_version: 080015 board_asset_tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. board_name: To be filled by O.E.M. board_serial: To be filled by O.E.M. board_vendor: To be filled by O.E.M. board_version: To be filled by O.E.M. ...
We have tried some tools to edit these BIOS values without success.
Has anyone edited DMI data before? Please teach me. :)
