 Subject: [Users] Windows install / activation issues.
 
 I am slowly doing my stage two testing now.  I have been finding very
 few issues that is pretty good since 3.1 is just going into feature
 freeze but I did find one that is kinda a show stopper and weird for
 me.  I installed windows 2003 using my Dell CD on my Dell Hardware.
  On
 both ESXi and Xen Server windows authorization fine because the
 installer sees the Dell bias in some way but under oVirt it doesn't.
  From my research it looks like the feature is called SLP.  Is there
 anyway to pass the Dell SLP info to the installer like it is done
 under
 both Xen and Vmware ESXi?  I assume it would be a libVirt option of
 some
 kind I just can't find it.

Some specific SMBIOS strings are being passed to identify the hypervisor.
There isn't a feature that enabled passing select host bios strings in oVirt 
yet (patches welcome) but you can do this with a hook, see here
