This should be named with a virRandom prefix; I like

virRandomGenerateWWN

Formatting, I would do:

int
virRandomGenerateWWN(char **wwn)
{

Eep.  That's a waste of random bits (generating a uint16_t for just 4 bits).

> +   suffix[1] = virRandomBits(256);

And that's a usage error.  virRandomBits takes an argument 1-64, not larger.

Why not just:

if (virAsprintf(wwn, "5" QUMRANET_OUI "%010llx",
                (unsigned long long) virRandomBits(36)) < 0)

and skip going through a temporary array.
