Using zonecfg to set qemu_extra_opts in SmartOS
Raw
gistfile1.txt
# zonecfg -z <uuid>
# add attr
# set name=qemu-extra-opts
# set type=string
# set value="LXNtcCBjcHVzPTEsY29yZXM9NCx0aHJlYWRzPTI="
# end
# commit
# exit
Then reboot the machine. The value is the base64 encoded string that will be added to the qemu-kvm options. The above is "-smp cpus=1,cores=4,threads=2", which plays nice with Windows which for some stupid reason only supports 2 cpus.

Nice. Are you using echo "...the actual qemu opts..." | openssl base64 to do the conversion, or something else?

new Buffer("-smp cpus=1,cores=4,threads=2").toString('base64')
