Is there a way to copy BIOS information from VM Host server to guest?

Hi,

When installing Windows Server from OEM media to guest HVM I get a message: "This System is Not Supported",

because the Oracle VM for the guest machine does not provide the original information from the host BIOS

For example, xenserver when creating a guest has such a function: "Copy host BIOS strings to VM"

Other hypervisors like vmware, kvm, hyper-v have the proper options for this too.

There is a way to copy this information in Oracle VM?

Any options in vm.cfg?

DMI dump from host server:
