Dear Devs,

This time i need some help :) In KVM/libvirt its common to be able to set the system/bios/product information. The problem we encounter is, that this information can be multilined (one line for each part of the information). Proxmox only allowes one string. For licensing purposes we need to be able to set multiline strings here.

E.G.:

Original KVM/Libvirt Config:

Code:
    <system>
      <entry name='product'>TIMOS:address=xx.xx.xx.xx/24@active
      static-route=0.0.0.0/0@xx.xx.xx.xx
      license-file=ftp://xxx:xxx@xx.xx.xx.xx/./vwag_license.txt
          primary-config=ftp://xx:xx@xx.xx.xx.xx/./vwag_start.cfg
      slot=A chassis=SR-7 card=sfm3-7</entry>
    </system>


There is no way to set this using the Proxmox-VM-Config file which does not support multiline or \n.

Code:
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=f7c0f8d8-2491-4195-9ba5-d7cf36835ba1,product=TIMOS:address=xx.xx.xx.xx/24@active
sockets: 1

Please fix this asap because this is business critical (all nodes are licensed with your Proxmox-Enterprise-License). Appreciated. Would not escalate that much if it wouldnt be so important :)
