Hi,

When I create a VM in Proxmox GUI, I want to specify some SMBIOS settings like Manufacturer and Product (VM options).
The problem is that GUI doesn't accept space character in the input field.
For example, on want to enter Manufacturer value "Microsoft Corporation", but it's impossible to validate.

I must edit the VM config file and add the line "args : -uuid ... -smbios 'type=1,manufacturer=Microsoft Corporation,product=Virtual Machine' "

Is it a bug ?

Hi,

I see your message is a little bit old but it seem nothing have changed yet.
Same issue here... off course there is the workaround but the option is in the gui and it's too bad we can't use it !
Off course I tried with quotes, does not work either... Is there another way to use spaces ?

Is there someone who knows better ?

thanks
 
I also often wondered about this. Yet you need this option seldomly, for sure. In the very rare cases I needed it, I used -args, but patches to Proxmox VE are welcome.
