machine identification:
We have DR support in our software, but I was under the impression
that most of the DR sites were running the OS under VM and they
simulated the serial anyway.
I suppose their are sites that do not run the DR under VM, but don't
the sites who don't run under VM know the serial number ahead of
time, and wouldn't it be already built into the software, or they
have a already setup job to enter the new serial(s)? I know I would
have it set up if it were me.
Knowing the Serial Number of the machine you are going to run DR on
and having it already built into the software is being too
optimistic. Not only can you have multiple DR Sites to go to and
choosing one based on who can service you when you need DR Services
but even if it was only one site, I am sure that they have multiple
machines and you would not want to list all of them. Until you get
there, you would not know which machine that is going to be assigned
to you.
