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
