similar to: [PATCH] HVM SMBIOS v2 0/5

For some reason, half of the patches I posted on Friday for HVM SMBIOS support haven''t shown up yet. I''m going to try to post a version of them reworked for changeset 11076:f328519053f5a444af475ec10dc8089a0b176e3f in a few moments, so please ignore the previous posts. Thanks!

The series "HVM firmware passthrough" series in Jan 2013 from Ross Philipson cause two regressions for HVM guests which sadly found their way into the Xen 4.3 release. The first regression causes an incorrect count of tables to be placed in the main header, and can be seen by running dmidecode in any applicable HVM domain. The second regression found its way into the public ABI, making

Hello folks, There is a way to get the system serial number from SMBIOS and pass it as HTTP query string to get the kernel and initrd? Something like this: LABEL OS Download MENU LABEL Clonezilla MENU INDENT 1 KERNEL http://192.168.10.10/kernel.php?type=kernel ( http://myserver/kernel.php?SN=SMBIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER&type=kernel )&SN=SMBIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER APPEND

I am reposting this because it's been 2 or 3 weeks. Hello, Hopefully this is the right place to send a question like this... I'm attempting to automate creation of VMs using virt-install and a cloud-init disk image. To get this to work, I need to specify the location of the cloud-init configs by passing smbios key/value pairs. Normally, -smbios is provided to qemu to do this. With

Hello, I''m using the latest b75 ISO to try and get a solaris dom0 running on my laptop, a Sony SZ-330P. The Xen LiveCD works just fine, so I know that theoretically it should work. Build 75 also works just fine on my Sony, including sound and video, etc. But when I try and boot the Xen kernel, the system hangs. There''s no panic printed to console. If I pass a -v option at

This patch introduces support for two new parameters in libxl: smbios_firmware=<path_to_smbios_structures_file> acpi_firmware=<path_to_acpi_tables_file> The changes are primarily in the domain building code where the firmware files are read and passed to libxc for loading into the new guest. After the domain building call to libxc, the addresses for the loaded blobs are returned and

Greetings. I''ve been asked to work on a PXE solution for booting Xen domU''s from a network, and would like some feedback and any help anyone is willing to provide. I''ve been limiting my work to HVM domU''s at the moment, because I don''t think the NBI''s (as far as I know, these are bootloaders) that I have available work in paravirtualized

This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS pass-through in the

Hi guys, Does anybody knows if there is an option to set a binary file for smbios? Currently, I'm doing this approach: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/var/run/libvirt/qemu/smbios_type_1.bin'/> </qemu:commandline> Has libvirt a method as <smbios mode='host'/> ? -- Julio Cesar Faracco

Passthrough support for the SMBIOS structures including three new DMTF defined types and support for OEM defined tables. Passed in SMBIOS types override the default internal values. Default values can be enabled for the new type 22 portable battery using a xenstore flag. All other new DMTF defined and OEM structures will only be added to the SMBIOS table if passthrough values are present.

All, What is the current minimum required SMBIOS version for Xen? Assuming it is not already, the SMBIOS version on the platform were to be raised to 2.5, would there be issues?
