Hello friends,

How can I determine where a software product is pulling the serial number of 
the hardware? We'd like to be able to run a z/VM guest (for DR) with the same 
serial number as our current mainframe. That way we don’t have to call for 
temporary license keys. However, our DR provider has warned us that some 
products will interrogate the physical hardware rather than what the OS is 
holding or what I have in the iodf. Any way beforehand to see where those 
values are coming from?
Thanks.
