This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going
to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue
of older requests that have come on.

In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and
spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to
implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint
(and spec).

Title:
  SMBIOS returns host uuid as computer system id on VMs with libvirt/KVM

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Version: nova-2013.1.4 (Grizzly)
  Driver: libvirt
  Hypervisor: KVM
  Host OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Description:
  To get instance UUID, I tried to use "wmic CSPRODUCT" command on a Windows guest, but the result was different from the instance uuid.

  See below:
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L3099

  Libvirt driver used get_host_uuid() in nova.virt.libvirt.driver and it
  returns the host uuid, so the VMs on a host get same computer system
  product id from SMBIOS. I think each  VM should have an unique value
  as computer system product id.
