Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] esx: Ignore malformed host UUID from BIOS

Etienne Gosset reported that libvirt fails to connect to his ESX server because it failed to parse its malformed host UUID, that contains a additional space and lacks one hexdigit in the last group: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx- xxxxxxxxxxx

Don't treat this as a fatal error, just ignore it. --- src/esx/esx_driver.c | 9 +++++---- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/esx/esx_driver.c b/src/esx/esx_driver.c index 97f3dbe..116ad0f 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_driver.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_driver.c @@ -518,10 +518,11 @@ esxLookupHostSystemBiosUuid(esxPrivate *priv, unsigned char *uuid) if (strlen(dynamicProperty->val->string) > 0) { if (virUUIDParse(dynamicProperty->val->string, uuid) < 0) { - ESX_ERROR(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, - _("Could not parse UUID from string '%s'"), - dynamicProperty->val->string); - goto cleanup; + VIR_WARN("Could not parse host UUID from string '%s'", + dynamicProperty->val->string); + + /* HostSystem has an invalid UUID, ignore it */ + memset(uuid, 0, VIR_UUID_BUFLEN);
