[libvirt] Usage of UUID

Hello all, When I started to implement phyp driver, I use to handle the UUID as a normal 'unsigned char *' with a LPAR value called "logical_serial_num" that is a string in the format "067BE8B2", an identifier. In the last comments I got from danpb and DV, they called my attention to const string at UUID handling and some funtcions that must be implemented: domainDumpXML, listDefinedDomains and numOfDefinedDomains. My question is: Once I don't have information from my hypervisor about UUID, do I have to handle UUID at "list" or "list --all" commands? Or I should keep and handle this information only when defining a domaing at libvirt? I mean, in my point of view, there is no need to generate and store a UUID while just listing LPARs in the remote server. What I should do is to generate a random UUID (and store it) just when the user decides to define it at libvirt. Am I thinking right? Thanks for the help.
