Universally Unique Identifiers or UUID verifies the identity of a repository. Usually a unique UUID for each repository is desired except for situations between two repositories that is under migration of data. Using the same UUID will ensure a perfect replica of the repository being replaced and users connecting to it won't see a different repository.
First check the old repository UUID.
