You can hack it in, but there is no GUI for that.

search for '-drive option' on http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html and you'll see this:

-drive option[,option[,option[,...]]]
Define a new drive. Valid options are:

....

serial=serial
This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device.

As I said it works, but you cannot change it in the GUI, only in the <VMID.conf> and every change to that configuration file from within the GUI will most probably overwrite your change.

hello thanks for reply, but this command not work proxmox server

qemu-system-i386

you can edit your vm configuration (/etc/pve/qemu-server/vmid.conf), and add ",serial=xxxx" to your disk.

But you are talking about UUID, insn't it partition UUID ?

if yes, you can update it with

tune2fs /dev/sdax -U xxxxx
