wanted to use vendor defined id, and i was able to run the example program supploed with the toolkit (uses hardcoded vendor defined id).
my understanding from reading the documentation is that we can use the c++ routine to uniquely identify the physical machine. and that id would work same way as normal HOSTId and COMPOSITEID works (apart from using specific keywork for vendor defined id as specified in code file)
is it a good idea to get machine hdd serial number and mac address and use that as vendor defined id?
is there any pitfall i should be aware of, before investing more time and energy setting up vendor defined id?
@venu_gopal Yes you can go ahead with hdd serial number and mac address as they are a type of attribute that is available to uniquely identify a system. You can go through "Supported Hostid Types" list from the product document which will highlight the supported hostid as per the OS.
