Subject: [PATCH v2 qemu-server 08/16] api: allow setting the efi-firmware option
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 07:48:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <112600c5d24f1a06ab9049b1b234035c989d0135.1790337726.git@genua.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790337423.git@genua.de>
Add the option to the POST/PUT {vmid}/config endpoints. It needs
VM.Config.Options permission, like the 'bios' option it modifies, and is
rejected without bios=ovmf.
Deleting it does not trigger volume cleanup, firmware images are shared.
Signed-off-by: Christian Ludwig <christian_ludwig@genua.de>
