<p>I need to create an old oVirt Windows VM.
The VM has an old licensed product that we
can no longer get a licensed reissued for.
It looks like I need to feed back the
original qemu UUID that was used when the VM
was created.</p>
<p>I have an engine config backup and a backup
of the oVirt storage domain.</p>
<p>I viewed the engine backup, but the format
as-is doesn't give any obvious configuration
details of the VMs at the time of the
backup. Is the UUID as obvious as the file
name of the VM's boot volume UUID name?</p>

<div>I think it's the field 'vm_guid' in the table
'vm_static'.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>You can restore the backup on a temp vm somewhere -
make sure it has no<br>
</div>
<div>access to your hosts so that the engine will not start
to manage them -<br>
</div>
<div>or just look at the db dump. The backup is a tar file,
and you can look<br>
</div>
<div>at db dumps inside it using 'pg_restore filename |
less'.<br>

The guest UUID is configurable per VM in Edit dialog,
you can use a custom value</div>

Thank you, I was able to get the UUID back!<br>
