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.

Thanks for your help,
Harry

With a vdsm hook you can edit the domxml however you want

[ovirt-users] QEMU custom bios and machine setup

[Harry Mallon]

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.

Thanks for your help,
Harry
