Though SolarWinds does not recommend altering this standard configuration, if

you have a business case for doing so, then you can configure Virtualization

Manager to omit SMBIOS IDs and build GUIDs based on ESX host names.

Note: If you configure Virtualization Manager to omit SMBIOS IDs, you cannot

rename hosts monitored by Virtualization Manager without creating an error state.

Virtualization Manager will not be able to recognize the new GUID that is auto-

generated.

To omit SMBIOS IDs:

1. Log on to the administration website of the installation

(https://ipAddress:5480) as user admin and password admin.

2. Navigate to SolarWinds Mgmt.

3. Click Edit Configuration.

4. Select hyper9-config.xml, and then click Edit.

5. Insert the following line: <entry

key=”identity.hostServer.omitSMBIOS”>true</entry>.

6. Click Save.

7. Restart the virtual appliance by clicking Restart Virtualization Manager.
