How can I find out the address of UUID when it is powered off? I need to edit some custom option by command “virsh edit vm_name” before power on.

You can get the VM UUID from acli 

acli vm.list


<You can get the VM UUID from acli 

 

acli vm.list

 

 

Thank you for reply. now I can see UUID

but how can I use command “virsh edit” on CVM

or other commands that are the same as on the host(AHV)

 

now I can use “virsh edit” on AHV but VMs must power on

I need to use this command with powerd off VMs

 

because I need to edit some feature on that VMs

You have to use vm.update 

 

<acropolis> vm.update vm_list [agent_vm="{ true | false }" ] [annotation="annotation" ] [cbr_not_capable_reason="cbr_not_capable_reason" ] [cpu_passthrough="{ true | false }" ] [disable_branding="{ true | false }" ] [enable_metrics="{ true | false }" ] [extra_flags="extra_flags" ] [ha_priority="ha_priority" ] [hardware_virtualization="{ true | false }" ] [hwclock_timezone="hwclock_timezone" ] [machine_type="machine_type" ] [memory="memory" ] [name="name" ] [num_cores_per_vcpu="num_cores_per_vcpu" ] [num_threads_per_core="num_threads_per_core" ] [num_vcpus="num_vcpus" ] [num_vnuma_nodes="num_vnuma_nodes" ] [nvram_container="nvram_container" ] [secure_boot="{ true | false }" ] [uefi_boot="{ true | false }" ] [vcpu_hard_pin="{ true | false }" ] [vga_console="{ true | false }" ] [windows_credential_guard="{ true | false }" ]
