Description Vera 2021-09-02 09:53:54 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1598348 +++

Description:

VMware supports genid in its vmx metadata files, eg:

vm.genid = "7344585841658099715"
vm.genidX = "-8483171368186442967"

However the <genid> tag does not appear when dumping the XML of this guest>

# virsh -c vpx://root@xx/data/10.73.72.61/?no_verify=1 dumpxml esx6.0-win2012r2-x86_64 
Enter root's password for xx: 
<domain type='vmware' xmlns:vmware='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/vmware/1.0'>
  <name>esx6.0-win2012r2-x86_64</name>
  <uuid>564d5c84-172a-0ecd-05c9-14003ce70ae3</uuid>
[etc]

We expect to see <genid> here, as described here:

The bug exists on the RHEL9 with libvirt-7.6.0-2.el9.x86_64.

Removing ITR, it's a side effect of cloning bugs... Removing Triaged keyword and assigned directly to Michal since he owns the cloned from bug and will need to handle for RHEL9.

I'm guessing this would already be fixed in 9-Beta, so one could set TestOnly keyword and go directly to ON_QA with whatever patch resolved the issue for 8.5.0

Indeed. Doing so now.
Comment 5 Vera 2021-09-15 06:20:19 UTC 
Verified with the build:
libvirt-7.7.0-1.el9.x86_64


# virsh -c vpx://root.198.169/data/10.73.199.217/?no_verify=1  dumpxml esx7.0-win2019-x86_64
Enter root's password for 10.73.198.169: 
<domain type='vmware' xmlns:vmware='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/vmware/1.0'>
  <name>esx7.0-win2019-x86_64</name>
  <uuid>4203fb76-a391-6c63-86cf-7e6a25f6285a</uuid>
  <genid>5cc07933-0fbb-e06c-be9b-a908c5f8121b</genid>
......

The issue has been fixed.

Moving the bug from ON_QA to Verified.
