- Spin up a new vm with the same size and shape of the "original" one. That'll have a new uuid, obviously. Call that the "sacrificial" vm. - Shut that new vm down with vmadm. - zfs list and find the names of the new sacrificial vm's disks (zvols). Note those names. - zfs destroy those zvols. - zfs rename your "original" zvols to match the new uuid. - now you have a new vm with a new uuid, with the storage cloned from the original.
