Hi all,
I'm currently looking at how libvirt can be used to clone a saved VM, and
have been focusing on the previous thread on this topic at
https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/YX....
My understanding from reading the thread is that the best way to approach
this is 1) add uuid properties to the relevant objects/devices in QEMU where
the UUID is user-visible, and 2) update libvirt to handle these properties
via XML.
Does this sound correct, or is there any more recent thinking about the best
approach to take?
Yes, that's still a reasonable way to approach this, unless we uncover
new info when you try implementing it.
With regards,
Daniel
