Description

As reported by Florian, on a dom0 the uuid is not available, and so inventory is invalid and fails on a dom0

Indeed, command xenstore-read vm does not return what is expected (at least on recent system)

Suggested solution is to run

 "RUDDERUUID"     string => execresult("/usr/sbin/dmidecode -s system-uuid", "noshell");

also on dom0, as it should return the exact same value as the dmidecode

If it is indeed the same value, this should be a really fast to fix

Setting to critical, as the only workaround is to patch the policies

dmidecode does work on dom0 on recent version (tested up to centos5)
xenstore-read vm does fail on centos7 and sles12, but not on centos5
so it must have started to fail somewhere in-between

as dmidecode seems to always work, we could simply replace, on dom0, xenstore-read by dmidecode

interestingly, on a sles11sp3 dom0, I get

root@agent3:/home/vagrant# xenstore-read vm
/vm/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
root@agent3:/home/vagrant# dmidecode -s system-uuid
A861BCFC-9838-4F47-9E85-A312F64EB050
root@agent3:/home/vagrant# uname -a
Linux agent3 3.0.76-0.11-xen #1 SMP Fri Jun 14 08:21:43 UTC 2013 (ccab990) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

so uuid seem false
