PV guests don’t get an SMBIOS table; only HVM guests do. To change the structure (Which is fairly hardcoded) you need to modify the hvmloader sources. Look at tools/firmware/hvmloader/smbios.c.

Hey folks,

Is it possible to define smbios struct fields <http://src.vmindex.org/xen_3.0.4/xref/src/tools/firmware/hvmloader/smbios_types.h#75> in the xmdomain.cfg <http://src.vmindex.org/xen_3.0.4/xref/src/docs/man/xmdomain.cfg.pod.5> files?

If not, which files should I patch? Do I need to create my own "device_model" or "loader" driver? I would like to do this for both HV and PV.

Cheers,

C.J .
