    Hi Robert,
    I add some code at the bottom of the .XML files.

    This is how I add SLP in Unraid:
    Code:
     <qemu:commandline>
        <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/>
        <qemu:arg value='type=0,vendor=<SLP>,version=<SLP>,date=<SLP>,release=1.0'/>
      </qemu:commandline>
    </domain>
    Replace <SLP> with the string/s you need.
    (just like in other VM software it doesn't work for Dell's SLP)

    And I add this for SLIC 2.x in Unraid:
    Code:
      <qemu:commandline>
        <qemu:arg value='-acpitable'/>
        <qemu:arg value='file=/PATH_TO_SLIC/SLIC.BIN'/>
      </qemu:commandline>
    </domain>
    
    Just add the path to the where you stored the .BIN file on your server.

    IIRC, the .XML in Proxmox is set out little different.
    So your may have play around with the formatting.

    I was working with a Proxmox server earlier this week so I had a little play with the .CONF files.

    I used this to add SLP in Proxmox:
    Code:
     args: -smbios type=0,vendor=<SLP>,version=<SLP>,date=<SLP>,release=1.0
    Replace <SLP> with the string/s you need.
    (again like in other VM software it doesn't work for Dell's SLP)

    And I used this for SLIC 2.x in Proxmox:
    Code:
     args: -acpitable sig=SLIC,file=/PATH_TO_SLIC/SLIC.BIN
    Just add the path to the where you stored the .BIN file on your server.

    To add both SLP and SLIC to Proxmox, I added them both together:
    Code:
     args: -acpitable sig=SLIC,file=/PATH_TO_SLIC/SLIC.BIN -smbios type=0,vendor=<SLP>,version=<SLP>,date=<SLP>,release=1.0
    Hope this helps. :)
