Does genid exist in oVirt ? If yes, is it already preserved or should it be

a new patch ?


This patch does not preserve it for any RHV output mode:

We are missing support currently for all OVF-based formats (hence

‘-i ova’, and all oVirt/RHV output modes).  It's unclear where we

would store the genid in this format.


However it's a very good question and I defer to Tomáš and Michal,
although I believe they are both on holiday for the rest of the week.


RHV doesn’t support it at all yet.
There’s an RFE[1] but it is not targeted to any version.
Full support would need to be prioritized.

Thanks,
