# UUID of the host:
-# Provide the UUID of the host here in case the command
-# 'dmidecode -s system-uuid' does not provide a valid uuid. In case
-# 'dmidecode' does not provide a valid UUID and none is provided here, a
-# temporary UUID will be generated.
+# Host UUID is read from one of the sources specified in host_uuid_source.
+#
+# - 'smbios': fetch the UUID from 'dmidecode -s system-uuid'
+# - 'machine-id': fetch the UUID from /etc/machine-id
+#
+# The host_uuid_source default is 'smbios'. If 'dmidecode' does not provide
+# a valid UUID a temporary UUID will be generated.
+#
+# Another option is to specify host UUID in host_uuid.
+#
# Keep the format of the example UUID below. UUID must not have all digits
# be the same.
