Sometimes lazy vendors ship multiple hosts with the same system-uuid.

  # uuidgen > /etc/vdsm/vdsm.id

on the faulty host would provide it with a new individual ovirt-level
identity.

However, this can also happen if you are trying to re-add an existing
host with another IP address it may have, so beware.

I wish this bit of information was given within the error message
(together with the name and UUID of the existing host). Can you open an
infra bug asking that?
