Just use the 'args' option to pass arbitrary options to kvm, see 'man qm'

Re: smbios kvm feature SOLVED

I have solved but is not very easy....

In the KVM documentation there is this sintax but nor run...

-smbios type=0[,vendor=MYVENDOR ][,version=018][,date=07/06/2009][,release=%d.%d]

and
-smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str][,uuid=uuid][,sku=str][,family=str]
Specify SMBIOS type 1 fields

type 1 or type 2 is the block of output of dmidecode


for example in my server...
this is my type 0

the sintax correct in my /etc/qemu-server/101.cfg

args: -smbios type=0,vendor=HP,version=018,date=07/06/2009, -smbios type=1[,manufacturer=HP,product="ProLiant ML115 G5",version=1,serial=CZC9455SC0,uuid=07C2DA88-1381-1CC2-11B2-0025B3E64C42,sku=470065-200

in the part product on type 1 is necessary the "" because witout not read the complete model but only Proliant

i have solved
