KVM with OEM license

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have an HP Server with an OEM copy of Windows Server 2008.  When I
try to install 2008 as a guest in KVM the HP OEM check pops up and
tells me I am not using supported hardware.  It seems the OEM check is
looking for information in the BIOS of the server, but KVM is
presenting the installer with a different BIOS.

HP support told me that if I was using VMWare I would add the
parameter "SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE"" and then it would work.  Is
there a similar solution under KVM?  Is there a particular version of
KVM that I need to be running to get this feature?

Thanks for your help,
Phil
