Hi folks,Right now some smbios fields are hard coded (like CPU nominal frequency), and some can be opted in, but there is no feasible way to present real backend hardware information to the front. In some scenario, the users of virtual machines may not be happy to see an unknown CPU model and 2.0GHz CPU speed, while they have been told the backend CPUs are the newest model with much high frequency.
The backend information may be changed after migration from one host to another, but in a large cluster it may also be kept in high probability. Even if it is changed, we can synchronize the information after a system reset.
So does it make sense to present some host smbios information (especially CPU information) to guest, by default or by some easy option? Or do you have any other advice?
Thanks, HG
