I discovered you can get the info from UDEV, eg if libvirt reports a volume '/dev/sde' you can query against the block device path # scsi_id --export --whitelisted /dev/sde ID_VENDOR=QNAP ID_VENDOR_ENC=QNAP ID_MODEL=iSCSI_Storage ID_MODEL_ENC=iSCSI\x20Storage ID_REVISION=3.1 ID_TYPE=disk ID_SERIAL=36001405e61fd1a5d6f1dd4d66d9630d2 ID_SERIAL_SHORT=6001405e61fd1a5d6f1dd4d66d9630d2 The ID_SERIAL field should be what you what IIUC We'll see about making libvirt report this value directly as the 'key' for the volume Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
