I’m in the process of switching from oVirt 4.3 to 4.5.
VM runring on old hosts are returned as :
$ sudo dmidecode -t 1
# dmidecode 3.5
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes

But when running on new hosts, they are identified as
$ sudo dmidecode -t 1
# dmidecode 3.5
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes

Is that made on purpose ? I think that’s quite annoying as I have lot of tools that check
the value 'oVirt Node', is that configurable ?
Product Name being RHEL is not a very useful information as it’s not expected to run on
anything else.
