Dear Users,
I would like to ask everything if there is any possibility with Proxmox/KVM known to change the values of the motherboard information in smbios. I know that is already possible to modify the system information, but I'am also looking for an option to change the motherboard values aswell.

Example:

description: Computer
product: X7SBL
vendor: Supermicro
version: 0123456789
serial: 0123456789
width: 32 bits
capabilities: smbios-2.5 dmi-2.5
configuration: administrator_password=disabled boot=oem-specific frontpanel_password=unknown keyboard_password=unknown power-on_password=disabled uuid=123123123123
*-core
description: Motherboard
physical id: 0

That's all right now what it is. Changing the above values does not have any effect on the *core ones.
I'am missing following options for the "*-core" part:

product:
vendor:
version:
serial:

Thank you,
Denis
 
I was working with a Proxmox server earlier this week so I had a little play with the .CONF files.

I used this to add SLP in Proxmox:
Code:
Code:
args: -smbios type=0,vendor=<SLP>,version=<SLP>,date=<SLP>,release=1.0

And I used this for SLIC 2.x in Proxmox:
Code:
Code:
args: -acpitable sig=SLIC,file=/PATH_TO_SLIC/SLIC.BIN
 
To add both SLP and SLIC to Proxmox, I added them both together:
Code:
Code:
args: -acpitable sig=SLIC,file=/PATH_TO_SLIC/SLIC.BIN -smbios type=0,vendor=<SLP>,version=<SLP>,date=<SLP>,release=1.0
