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.
I have an engine config backup and a backup of the oVirt storage domain.
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?
I think it's the field 'vm_guid' in the table 'vm_static'.
You can restore the backup on a temp vm somewhere - make sure it has no access to your hosts so that the engine will not start to manage them - or just look at the db dump. The backup is a tar file, and you can look at db dumps inside it using 'pg_restore filename | less'.
The guest UUID is configurable per VM in Edit dialog, you can use a custom value
Thank you, I was able to get the UUID back! --------------81FD021695565412FC291787 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 12/31/2017 1:23 AM, Yedidyah Bar David wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CAHRwYXs0ocrMZviOcU80_UfuVWS=cqKKYrxekqCfPUJ_6VvZHg@mail.gmail.com"> <div dir="ltr"> <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 30, 2017 at 10:45 AM, Michal Skrivanek <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michal.skrivanek@redhat.com" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">michal.skrivanek@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <div dir="auto"> <div> <div class="gmail-h5"> <div><br> </div> <div><br> On 30 Dec 2017, at 06:54, Blaster <<a href="mailto:blaster@556nato.com" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">blaster@556nato.com</a>> wrote:<br> <br> </div> <blockquote type="cite"> <div> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <p>I need to create an old oVirt Windows VM.
