Hey guys,

As I go through the console code, I notice that the domain console 
information is being stored in /console/%d/domain instead of within the 
/domain tree as one would expect.

The reasoning seems obvious to me, there's no easy way to get the UUID 
for a domain so constructing a UUID based path outside of Xend is very 
difficult.

Perhaps now is a good time to reconsider just using domain ids instead 
of UUIDs for the paths?  In a cluster we could just use 
<nodeid>/domain/<domid> for unique identification.

Or, if we really want to use UUIDs in the node path, perhaps we can add 
UUIDs to the domain structure in the hypervisor so that we can actually 
query it through getdomaininfo?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
