I am virtualzing a physical server for which I need to set the SCSI/SATA drive serial. It is comprised of 12 " " spaces then 8 letter/digits. If I exclude the spaces, the drive serial is not accurate. If I include the spaces I get the following error. error: Failed to start domain test1 error: internal error: driver serial ' ABCD1234' contains unsafe characters virsh edit Centos 7.0 3.19.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 QEMU emulator version 1.5.3 (qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7.centos.7), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
Are you sure you need to input the spaces? the standard inquiry reply that outputs the serial uses spaces as padding, so even if you use serial "ABCD1234" the inquiry command is going to tell you
" ABCD1234".Do you have software that relies on the serial number and can tell the difference between spaces present and no spaces present?
