Hi
I have a 2 node hosted engine cluster using 3.4 beta3 on centos 6.5 and I'm trying to use smbios hook(first try to use a hook) and I can't see the smbios key in custom properties when I edit a VM.
I have installed the vdsm-hook-smbios on both hosts and restarted vdsm and restarted the engine as well. I can see the hooks available on each hosts from the engine GUI but I can't see the custom property to modify at VM level.
Can anyone advise if I'm doing the right thing here or what logs should I provide for debugging ?
You have to explicitly enabled your custom property in Engine's database. See http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Hooks#VM-level_hooks for an example how this can be done with the engine-config utility. You could make your users cozy by limiting their input to the likes of {'serial': '1234'}^{'vendor': 'oVirt'} or be lazy and allow everything engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=smbios=.* Dan.
