Support cloning of VMs - part 2

[Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.caveayland@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/YXN2L2PYL4V4576ON5OKQKCV7RCWPSCT/#PJWWXVWIXB3L6DYUZDFW5DWIBFBBW3WS.

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?


ATB,

Mark.
