Goal

Today we do not support VM SMBIOS serial number not populated in OCP-Virt VMs

After this epic we will populate the correct VM SMBIOS serial number in OCP-Virt VMs

Ref:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-64582 - support VM SMBIOS serial number on CNV side - ( fixed on kubevirt 1.4 and 1.5 )

How to test:
A. Set the feature flag to "true":

yzamir@fedora:~$ oc get forkliftcontrollers -n openshift-mtv forklift-controller -o json | jq .spec
{
  "feature_ui_plugin": "true",
  "feature_validation": "true",
  "feature_volume_populator": "true"
}

yzamir@fedora:~$ oc patch forkliftcontroller forklift-controller -n openshift-mtv --type='merge' -p='{"spec":{"feature_vmware_system_serial_number":"true"}}'
forkliftcontroller.forklift.konveyor.io/forklift-controller patched

yzamir@fedora:~$ oc get forkliftcontrollers -n openshift-mtv forklift-controller -o json | jq .spec
{
  "feature_ui_plugin": "true",
  "feature_validation": "true",
  "feature_vmware_system_serial_number": "true",
  "feature_volume_populator": "true"
}

B. Check the VM SMBIOS serial number in the source vm:

dmidecode -s system-serial-number 

C. Run a migration, and check the serial in the target vm:

dmidecode -s system-serial-number 

User Stories

• As a migration manager,
  I want to get the same VM SMBIOS serial number in my migrated vms,
  so that i can continue to use my automation.
• <another user story>

Non-Requirements

• check if CNV support VM SMBIOS serial numbes with spaces and capital letters

Notes

• Currently under feature gate because not all CNV installation support VM SMBIOS serial numbes with spaces and capital letters
