Hey Sergio Just spunup a test machine on VMWare with version 13.
I can confirm the issue is still present: pjds@sombrero:~$ sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid [sudo] password for pjds: EB7F3642-93FE-BACA-6161-311E52960EBE pjds@sombrero:~$ pjds@sombrero:~$ sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial VMware-42 36 7f eb fe 93 ca ba-61 61 31 1e 52 96 0e be Apologies, just realised I had a typo in my last message. As you can see product_serial is not by swapped correctly thus not matching product_uuid. Thanks for your help Peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dmidecode in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851676 Title: dmidecode does not byte-swap for SMBIOS >= 2.6 Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, On VMWare 6.5 and higher (HW version 13 and higher) when decoding /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial dmidecode produces an output whereby the first 16 characters have been reversed in comparison to /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid. This manifests itself by breaking provisioning in Kubernetes and could cause other issues down the line. Other OS such as redhat have already patched this in their releases.
