vSRX Doesn't have UUID

[bruenor80]

It looks like the docker container created with vSRX isn't being given a UUID resulting in there not being a chassis serial number(which is used for many management platforms). I tested with two versions of vSRX and had the same result. A QEMU booted vSRX was fine. vJunosSwitch also didn't have a UUID but it must not use the UUID to generate the Serial number because they still had unique serial numbers. Is there any way to pass a UUID to the container?

Edit: This only seems to be the case for the BSD based JUNOS platforms - vJunosEVO was fine - uuid was listed under /etc/machine-id as expected.

Looks like it was just missing the uuid gen in the launch.py file for the vsrx.

I added:

import uuid

# generate UUID to attach self.qemu_args.extend(["-uuid", str(uuid.uuid4())])

to vsrx/docker/launch.py and it fixed the issue for me.
