![]() To my question, how can I find out, whether my hard drives have 13 or 17 symbols, I got answer, that we either have to open iMac and check it by ourselves (for ~30 iMacs it's not the greatest thing to hear) or that there is a special terminal command, which may return this number, but the guy didn't remember at the moment, which exactly. The discussion is about Apple serial number for Seagate hard drive, not Seagate's (take a look on red square in image). I contacted Apple service and got comment, that problem was with hard drives, that had 13 numbers in serial number. ![]() You can create a config.ini but only some of the basic settings can be influenced by it like adding another hd-image, setting vcpus or a fixed resolution. Replacement MLB only comes with a part serial number but it does not have a system serial number. The sad answer is, that macOS guest support on m1/m2 MacBooks is still very limited. The only way to get a blank system serial number is when the logic board is replaced. ![]() The program now is expired and it's impossible to find out, whether they had hard drives, that very easily may fail or not. AFAIK, there is no way to clear a serial intentionally or by accident. After multiple hard drive failures we have found out, that most of our iMacs had defective Seagate Hard Drives, which Apple provided replacement program. I have a situation with iMacs in company I'm working. The question - how, without opening iMac - using Terminal, can I find out, what Apple's serial number is on my Seagate hard drive?
