Hi,
thanks Alberto for the quick answer.
There a couple of good benefits by doing it

         1) If a VM is creating using the config file on xen, UUID set on the 
file overwrites the one autogenerated (i.e. UUID is not autogenerated)
         2) If I delete a VM and want to recreate the exact copy of it, I'd 
like to use the very same UUID (that is, btw, used by me to store info on the 
vm on a local databse)

I believe vm-{import/export} do what you're looking for.
