virsh-pool-list: List the name and UUID of active storage pools.
$ virsh pool-list --name --uuid
try on your machine

The command virsh pool-list --name --uuid is used in the Virtualization environment with the virsh command-line tool. It retrieves a list of virtual storage pools in the system along with their names and universally unique identifiers (UUIDs).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • virsh: It is the command-line tool used to interact with virtualization platforms, specifically the Virtualization Manager (libvirt) and its APIs.
  • pool-list: It is a subcommand of the virsh tool used to list and display information about virtual storage pools.
  • --name: This option instructs virsh to display the names of the storage pools in its output. By including this option, the command will list the names of the storage pools.
  • --uuid: This option instructs virsh to display the UUIDs of the storage pools in its output. By including this option, the command will list the universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) of the storage pools.

Combining these options, the command virsh pool-list --name --uuid will provide a list of storage pools with their names and UUIDs, allowing users to identify and manage the virtual storage pools in the system.
