QEMU custom bios and machine setup
Hello all, I have only been using oVirt for a couple of weeks, but it is working well. I can see in Advanced options that I can pick a custom machine definition. Is there a way to customise the machine as you can with QEMU command line or libvirt XML? I need to access some weirder settings like bios image.

With a vdsm hook you can edit the domxml however you want On Jan 29, 2018 12:45 PM, "Harry Mallon" <Harry.Mallon@codex.online> wrote:

Hello all, Thanks for the tip Dan. I thought I would write up what I did for future people searching this list. I added the QEMU command line hook from github oVirt/vdsm (https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/tree/master/vdsm_hooks/qemucmdline) to /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_vm_start/ on my hosts. Then I added the Custom Arguments to the config on my machine with the engine running engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties # print current args and add them to the next line engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties='qemu_cmdline=^.*$' --cver=4.2 Then I was able to add the JSON list of args to the machines in the oVirt UI.
