Re: [Xen-devel] How to get the persistent identifier of a domain?

["Lily Huang" <ushuanglily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply. 

Here is my experimental setting. I start a domu, run "xm list --long", the uuid shown to me was (uuid 6cc8ab86-4ad4-7820-3326-53d666ff96aa). Then, I shut down this domu,  and start the same domu again. I got a different uuid:
(uuid 0c9ee2d6-4a9f-c0bf-989f-148bec284e15). You can see these two uuids are different. 

I am using the latest xen-unstable. 

Any further thought? If the persistent identifier does exists, do we have a programmable solution to get the persistent identifier (not command line, because it dump too much information and need  additional work to filter  the useless information)?

Thanks,
lily

Which UUID do you mean?  The one that xm list --long shows you as the
UUID for the domain certainly shouldn't change across reboots (it
doesn't for me).
