Subject: [PATCH guest-common v7 10/24] guest id: optionally enforce the next-id range and uniqueness
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 16:47:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005144805.825538-11-m.koeppl@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261005144805.825538-1-m.koeppl@proxmox.com>
If the 'enforce' subproperty of next-id is enabled, ensure that only
guest IDs from the configured range and, if unique is enabled as well,
only previously unused IDs can be used. By setting existing => 1, the
enforcement of these criteria is disabled for actions on existing
guests, such as destroy, remote migration with --delete, and restore
over an existing guest.
IDs are recorded before a guest exists and stay recorded if its
creation fails later. With both 'enforce' and 'unique' set, retrying a
failed creation with the same ID is therefore rejected.
