Bug #35836
BIOS UUID on host detail page is incorrect
Difficulty:
Triaged:
Yes
Description
In the system properties card on the host detail page there is a field BIOS UUID. If this really was the BIOS UUID I'd expect it to be on the BIOS card instead.
However, the UUID field doesn't come from the BIOS. For managed hosts it's the UUID in the compute resource (if any). It doesn't exist for unmanaged hosts.
I'd suggest to not show it at all and treat it as a system internal property. Instead, show the VM as is done in #35649.

Fixes #35836 - Drop "BIOS" UUID field
The host.uuid property is actually the virtualization UUID (for managed
hosts). This has nothing to do with the BIOS and is only confusing.
The UUID should also be considered an internal property and users
shouldn't be bothered by this. Instead, they should see a card showing
the virtual machine's details.
