If the <sysinfo> system table 'uuid' field is improperly formatted, then qemu will fail to start the guest with the error: virsh start dom error: Failed to start domain dom error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: Invalid SMBIOS UUID string This was because the parsing rules were lax with respect to allowing extraneous spaces and dashes in the provided UUID. As long as there were 32 hexavalues that matched the UUID for the domain the string was accepted. However startup failed because the string format wasn't correct. This patch will adjust the string format so that when it's presented to the driver it's in the expected format. Added a test for uuid comparison within sysinfo.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
