Yes, your hardware vendor is being very very bad :-(

You could complain to the hardware vendor, but I rather doubt
that they would ever do anything about it.
So, libvirtd provides a way to override the default host UUID,
by setting 'host_uuid' in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, which
should make the migration sanity check pass.
