If people don't want to pre-configure something, then a hardware UUID (either read from the hardware or generated based on what is installed) is really the only option.
I'm quite happy to have Matahari's 'Hardware' UUID use smbios if available* and do something with MAC addresses (and/or some other hardware identifier) if smbios is empty/unavailable.
- From what I can tell, RHEV, VMware and EC2 all support smbios...
anyone who doesn't?
Greg, do you know?
I haven't heard of any that don't support reading uuid from smbios. I have heard (I think from David L.) that gogrid doesn't set a guest ID for launching guests...in that case, deltacloud generates the ID and hands it back to conductor. Don't know if this ID makes it into the guest, or if it shows up in smbios.
