I have a similar setup at home. I have a dozen or so boot drives with various OSes on them that I can throw into my primary server. Mostly Linux Distros, BSD and a single Windows SSD for gaming (yeah, I know...). In my case I have a couple of non-SSD drives in this server that are data only. That way, I know which drive is the boot drive.
What I don't get is why you would have such a setup in your lab. It seems to be way more complicated than it needs to be. Granted, I have no idea what your lab is for, but I'd never have movable boot drive and a static one in the same system.
However, if I did, I'd make the hostnames unique. To me that would be simpler than mucking the UUIDs of the drives.

Hi all,
I have several machines in my lab, all of them running Fedora.
Some of the have both SSD and non SSD drivers.
Since the setup is dynamic (sometimes I transfer disks from machine to
machine), there are cases that the SSD drive is one machine is
disconnected/moved to a different machine, and the boot is done
from the other non SSD driver (on which also Fedora is installed).
Is there a way to know whether to boot was done from SSD or not ?
(I know I can try to read the product name of the device from which
boot was done, but in many cases this is not enough to know straight
away whether it is SSD or not.
Regards,
