[SOLVED] Hook scripts on restore

[bbgeek17]

Before opening an FR, I wanted to check here to see if I may have missed something:

While integrating our CI I noticed that on restore of a VM to a new VM ID the MAC and SMBIOS stay the same (arguably as expected). However, unlike vzdump, qmrestore does not appear to have a "--script" option with defined phases where VM could be made unique.
This presents a usability issue, as duplicate MACs can cause a production outage. Of course, this won't be the case with in-place restore but good administrative practices would be to restore to a new location, if possible.

At the very least I recommend documenting this behavior. If I missed something do let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,
there is a --unique option for qmrestore that generates new MAC addresses and uuid for SMBIOS.

Thank you @Fabian_E , I've pored over the man page and missed the most obvious one... This is perfect.
