      Feature Overview

      Similar to the UUID we also need to crate a unique system serial number for each VM

      Goals
      Provide system serial number so that customers can use it for e.g. their ITIL database.

      Requirements

      Requirement Notes isMvp?
      Populate system serial number with a unique value   
       Create a system serial number at start of a VM in case it does not have one  
      Have a UI to let the customer set the system serial number manually   

      Questions to answer...

      Out of Scope

      **

      Background, and strategic fit

      As we already provide the firmware-uuid field, we can use the same value also for the system serial number which is more often used by inventory databases.
      VMWare does the same (using its uuid with blanks after 2 ciphers and adding VMWARE_ as an identifier to the beginning.

      Assumptions

      nothing special
