Thanks Stefan,
But how can I get the serial info in the guest os?
I have tried 'hdparm', 'sdparm', 'lshw', 'smartctl' and failed finally.
for example,
root@debian:~# hdparm -i /dev/vdc
/dev/vdb:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
The XML be attached is:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source dev='/dev/nbd1'/>
<target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
<serial>WD-WMAP9A966149</serial>
<alias name='virtio-disk2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0c' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
The kernel info:
root@debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 16 16:22:28 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
