I guess we need more. For example, we can exactly identify
a VM/CT/Storage/Network by prefixing it with the cluster name:

cluster1/vm/100
cluster2/ct/100
cluster1/storage/local
cluster2/network/vmbr

But we need a way to tell if resources are considered 
to be equal (cluster wide).

An easy way to to do that would be to assign UUIDs to VMs, CTs, 
storages and networks?
