No UUID on VM / KVM hosts (spacewalk)

[PieterB]

An UUID is needed to register for example CentOS to a Spacewalk server:

dmidecode

System Information
    Manufacturer: Bochs
    Product Name: Bochs
    Version: Not Specified
    Serial Number: Not Specified
[B]    UUID: Not Settable[/B]

I tried to set one in /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf, but this isn't reflected in the vm after a reboot...

uuid: 4dc3c0a1-a73f-47ae-87b5-9aab80266b16

Note: template (vz containers) do have a valid UUID

add this to your VMID.conf file (power off and start your VM:

args: -uuid 4dc3c0a1-a73f-47ae-87b5-9aab80266b16

with "args:" you can pass kvm options to your VM.

Hi,

Is there any plan to add automaticly a UUID to a newly created VM ? This would be easier since all my node are in spacewalk and they need a UUID to be added into spacewalk.

Thanks

Etienne

no, there is no such plan.
