Hi All,

Is it possible to set various custom System Settings in KVM?
For example:
System Serial number
System Vendor
System Product
System Version

These would show up in the "dmidecode" output with Linux VM. (or equivalent command if using Windows VM)

Cheers Lance.

new smbios switches with kvm-88

I have just upgraded to kvm-88 and found what I am looking for

-smbios file=binary
Load SMBIOS entry from binary file.

-smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
Specify SMBIOS type 0 fields

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